For acute endometritis, it can be characterized by acute abdominal pain, increased discharge or odor, while chronic endometritis can be characterized by increased vaginal discharge or purulent discharge, lower abdominal cramps and lower back pain, or irregular vaginal bleeding in some mild cases. Many women go to the doctor with lower abdominal discomfort, and a specialist examination reveals significant pressure pain in the uterine area, or umbilicus.  Patients with endometritis may also present with elevated body temperature, elevated white blood cells and neutrophils, elevated C-reactive protein, accelerated sedimentation, etc. Gynecologic examination may reveal significant uterine pressure and pain, with more discharge or purulent discharge from the cervical orifice, and in some patients, ultrasound may indicate fluid in the uterine cavity.
