Excerpt from The New-York Medical and Physical Journal, 1823, Vol. 2Causes ofbarrenness. These causes are numerous, either as connected with the uterus, the fallopian tubes, or the ova ria. Several morbid changes in the condition of the uterus induce sterility in the female. I have found dysmenorrhoea the most frequent, those cases I allude to in which a decidu ous membrane is formed, and thrown off upon the evacuation ofthe menstrual discharge. I have noticed several instances of difficult menstruation accompanied by the formation of this substance, in all of which the patient has proved barren. I cannot admit, with some, that every case of painful menstrua tion is necessarily followed by the production of this cadu cous formation, though I believe there is no instance to be found in which the reverse of the position is not the fact. We are not to consider dysmenorrhoea, even when accompanied with the formation of the caducous membrane, as necessarily causing barrenness through life. A recent instance has con vinced me, that even a diseased action may take place in the uterus, which shall finally deprivethis viscus of its power to create this lining membrane, and that after excessive dis charges from the part continued for some considerable time, the womb may be restored to its wonted gestative and parta rient functions. Ppon apost mortem examination, I was led to believe that the cause of barrenness in one case was to be ascribed to an impervious condition of the fallopian tube.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
