Dr. A. Rabogliati (Bradford). - On some symptoms, which stimulate Disease of the Pelvic Organs in Women, and their Treatment. - (The British Medic. Journ., 1895, 12 / i, p. 67). - About some seizures that simulate diseases of the pelvic organs in women and the scope of their treatment

Women, both virgins and giving birth, complain of pain in the lumbar, ileal and groin areas, fatigue, headaches; in bed, the pains are weak, but do not go away completely; during and immediately after menstruation, the pain worsens. The study indicates a slight contraction of the uterus; in the last days, as well as in its appendages, they do not find other changes. Doctors diagnose this condition as general nervousness, neurasthenia, colic (intestinal? Ref.); others consider it oophoritis, salpingitom. The patients pass from one doctor to another and finally agree to castration, which does not help them at all. Rabagliati cut out in such cases a piece of the abdominal integument and peritoneum in the navel area and achieved some improvement.
