Some use the term 'Procidentia Uteri' for a minor degree of the affection than prolapsus; - Relaxatio uteri expressing the slightest state of all. A falling down of the uterus, owing to relaxation of the parts about the utero-vaginal region. In the treatment, the horizontal posture must be insisted upon; the injection of astringent substances per vaginam be advised; and if the affection be not remedied by these means, a pessary may be employed as a palliative, or the operation of Episiorraphy be performed.
