Postpartum infection, also known as postpartum infection, is one of the most common obstetric complications, caused by bacteria entering the genital tract through the birth wound and residing in the placenta in the uterus to cause disease in all parts of the genital tract or can spread further.

Postpartum infections include a range of problems that can occur after vaginal and cesarean deliveries or while breastfeeding, such as postpartum uterine infections and postpartum perineal infections. In addition to trauma during childbirth or cesarean delivery, physiological changes during pregnancy contribute to the development of postpartum infections.
