Mastitis vs. Metritis: Distinguishing Breast and Uterine Inflammation

Mastitis is inflammation of breast tissue, common in breastfeeding women. Symptoms: pain, swelling, redness, warmth; often bacterial.

Metritis is inflammation of the uterus. Causes: infection, injury, childbirth. Symptoms: abdominal pain, fever, chills, vaginal discharge.

Though both involve inflammation, they affect different organs and require distinct management.
