Inflammation of the glands in the uterine lining, often caused by infection.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'metra' (womb) + '-itis' (inflammation). This specific medical term describes a condition affecting the glandular component of the endometrium.
Adenometritis is different from endometritis (inflammation of the whole uterine lining) because it targets just the glandular cells, which is why pathologists need different names to describe exactly what they're seeing under the microscope.
