Physiological non-inflammatory disorders of the uterus. (False metritis)

There is a known number of diseases of the uterus, depending on physiological disorders. They are manifested mainly by such signs as leucorrhoea, bleeding, etc., which are characteristic of true, that is, infectious metritis. The author divides all changes (diseases) in the uterus, excluding neoplasms and curvatures, into changes that depend on infection and do not depend on it. The name metritis, in his opinion, should be confined only to the first, that is, to the true inflammatory changes. Already in 1886, the author pointed out the difference between contagious metritis and physiological nutritional disorders that occur under the influence of disorders of the nervous, circulatory or lymphatic systems, or under the influence of trauma, incomplete reverse development, etc. These diseases include the names subinvolution, chronic hypertrophy, blockage, tide, etc., and the author calls them pseudo-metritis
