Excerpt from Leucorrh?a and Other Varieties of Gyn?cological Catarrh: A Treatise on the Catarrhal Affections of the Genital Canal of Women; Their Medical and Surgical Treatment
Many of the minor diseases peculiar to women are associated with disorders of the mucous membrane that lines the genital canal, but we are rather inclined to disregard these affections in favor of operative gyn?cology, and for the development of surgical technique. This class of disease, however, merits careful consideration, not only because of its primary importance, but on account of its significance as an etiological factor in more serious maladies.
The commonly used term, leucorrh?a, signifies only one form of catarrh - a milky, white flow - and is, therefore, not comprehensive enough to embrace every variety of mucous discharge, while catarrh, used in the same sense as when applied to other mucous membranes, conveys a more accurate understanding of the pathology and clinical history of the gyn?cic mucous membrane disease.
Specific catarrh is not included, for the reason that it constitutes a special class of disease, that requires special treatment.
