Definition of "metritis"

The conjunctive tissue, young and succulent, then becomes hard and fibrous, and the uterus, on section, is pale, indurated and devoid of blood; that is chronic metritis which has reached the second period, or period of induration.

1888, Georges Apostoli, On a New Treatment of Chronic Metritis

The use of systemic antibiotics is justified and often required for metritis that causes systemic illness.
