A temperature of 38.0°C (100.4°F) or higher, foul-smelling lochia, and uterine tenderness are all signs of a reproductive tract infection. Leg edema and erythema may be signs of a deep vein thrombosis or clot, while breast engorgement is a common postpartum occurrence and not typically indicative of an infection.
