O86.3: Other genitourinary tract infections following delivery

After the birth of your child, you have an inflammation in your genital organs or your urinary tract.

The internal female genital organs include the uterus, the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The vagina is also one of the internal genital organs and goes from the uterus to the outside of the body. Genital organ inflammations can occur, for example, after injuries or due to penetrating pathogens. When genital organs become inflamed, it can cause abdominal pain and fever. The affected area can swell up and turn red.

The urinary passages include the ureters, bladder and urethra. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder. The urinary tract can become inflamed if bacteria from the intestine get into the bladder via the urethra. This can cause urinary urgency and burning when urinating. The inflammation may also spread through the ureter to the kidneys. You can then get a high temperature and pain.
