After I had an abortion, I took antibiotics to prevent an infection. A couple weeks later I went swimming in a lake and got endometritis (infection of the uterine wall). I felt the symptoms and got treated and cured quickly. Could this cause complications when trying to get pregnant in the future?

It shouldn't interfere with getting pregnant unless, there was scar tissue from the infection but that can be easily remedied.

It depends on the damage the infection did. If it left scar tissue, then yes. But thats somethign only your doc can tell you after examining you.

I don't think you have endometriosis. Endometriosis is not an infection of the uterine wall, and you don't catch it from swimming. Endometriosis simply means that the uterine lining (endometrium) is growing somewhere other than inside the uterus. If you have it, it is not a result of the abortion.
