Sometimes it happens that putrefactive fluids flow from the uterus of women; Semen also flows from her. As for the first disease, it occurs due to the abundance of excess and weakness of digestion in the vessels that conduct menstruation, with decay of the uterus; We devote a special article to this. The substance of the discharge is recognized by the color of menstrual blood dried on a rag, and by the color of menstruation as such. And the second disease depends on the same reasons as the abnormal flow of semen in men: if it occurs without lust, then its cause is the weakness of the uterus and blood vessels and their relaxation, and if at the same time some lust, burning and tickling is felt, then the cause is in the liquid of the semen and its pungency. Sometimes the cause is itching in the uterus, and tickling leads to ejaculation. A woman suffering from a discharge has difficulty breathing, a decreased appetite for food and a change in complexion, or she is affected by swelling and puffiness of the eyes, most often without pain, but sometimes with pain.
Treatment. As for the discharge of semen in them, it is treated in the same way as it is treated in men, and with other discharges one should begin with cleansing the body by bloodletting and laxation, if required, and then do a uterine enema, first with cleansing and drying substances, for example, with a decoction of “orris root” or a decoction of horehound, and they also rub the shins with thinning oils with sharp medicines, for example, aromatic rush oil with saliva and pepper. This is followed by the use of astringents in the form of enemas or drinks - in an enema, the drugs are more effective after a bowel movement. Such medicines are waters in which they boiled, for example, galls, pomegranate flowers, pomegranate peels, fragrant rush, myrtle.
