Uveitis Uveitis (also known as iridocyclitis) is the inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer that lies between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea .The uvea consists of the middle layer of pigmented vascular structures of the eye and includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.veitis is classified anatomically into anterior, intermediate, posterior, and panuveitic forms—based on the part of the eye primarily affected. Prior to the twentieth century, uveitis was typically referred to in English as ophthalmia.. 1  Anterior uveitis includes iridocyclitis and iritis.

Bacterial Infection (Metritis) of the Uterus in Cats The bacteria that are most often responsible for infection of the uterus are gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli, which often spreads into the blood, causing a blood infection. The infection may lead to sterility, and if left untreated, septic shock, a lethal condition, may follow.

WebMD Â® Women's Health Community The thickening of the uterine lining which is seen on ultrasound does not necessarily mean that someone has endometriosis. A thickening in the muscular walls of the uterus MIGHT suggest that endometriosis is inside the walls. This is called adenosis. More commonly, a thickened uterine lining is either from hormonal influences--or from polyps of the lining of the uterus (endometrial polyps).

What Causes an Inflamed Uterus? Pelvic inflammatory disease is a fallopian tube infection that also affects the uterus, ovaries and cervix. If the condition is not treated, scar tissue can develop and cause damage to the female reproductive organs, says the Mayo Clinic.

Picture of the Cervix The cervix is a cylinder-shaped neck of tissue that connects the vagina and uterus. Located at the lowermost portion of the uterus, the cervix is composed primarily of fibromuscular tissue. The part of the cervix that can be seen from inside the vagina during a gynecologic examination is known as the ectocervix. An opening in the center of the ectocervix, known as the external os, opens to allow passage between the uterus and vagina.

- Urethritis is inflammation (pain, redness and/or swelling) of the urethra (tube where urine comes out). Sometimes it is called non-specific urethritis (often known as NSU) or non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU).on-specific urethritis caused by chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in your female sexual partner(s). This can lead to long term pelvic pain, blocked fallopian tubes, infertility and ectopic pregnancy (when the pregnancy develops outside the uterus).

Overview Uterine polyps are growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus that extend into the uterine cavity. Overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) leads to the formation of uterine polyps, also known as endometrial polyps. These polyps are usually noncancerous (benign), although some can be cancerous or can eventually turn into cancer (precancerous polyps).
