Baumgartner jun. — Beitrag zur Technik der heissen Schei- deuspiilungen .— (Monatschr. Fiir Geburtschilii. Gynaek. Heft. 1897. — On the question of the technique of using hot vaginal douching.
As is known, hot vaginal douching is used in gynecological practice to excite uterine contractions, stop bleeding, dissolve old chronic exudates and adhesions of pelvic organs. These douching, according to the general opinion, must be given with water t ° 40 °, because otherwise they will not give the desired result. But using such hot water during douching, the patient often complains of severe pain caused by the fluid flowing out of the vagina on the external genital organs, perineum and anus.
