Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maryland Medical Journal, Baltimore, Vol. 1: October, 1877
Perhaps many cases which pass for Corporeal Endometritis are, in reality, purely cervical, allowed to be a glandular disease, the utricular follicles being the seat of the disorder, and the exagge ration of their secretory function, producing the pathognomonic uterine leucorrhoea, it would appear a rarity for the two affections to be segregated. And that they would always be coexistent. It has been declared from an able source, that the most frequent locality of uterine in?ammation is that portion of the uterus be low a line running across it through the os internum, and while the lining membrane of body and cervix may be simultaneously affected, this is the exception and not the rule, generally either one or the other portion of the organ being the seat of the disease. Differential diagnosis and physical exploration must declare the existence of one or both.
A long list of predisposing and exciting causes has been enum crated but, unlike most other uterine affections, it cannot always be treated with direct reference to the cause. As a complication of subinvolution of the uterus it is more commonly observed than as a consequence of all the other causes combined.
