Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Obstetrics<br/><br/>Etiology. The fundamental causes of abortion, miscarriage, and premature labor are the same. Changes take place in the ovum, or pathological conditions affect the mother, and a disposition to abortion is produced. In most cases the death of the fetus precedes its expulsion and leads to dis ease of the chorion. The causes of the death of the fetus will, therefore, be the causes of abortion in the majority of cases. Exciting Causes. Violent coitus, blows, falls, contusions, railroad travel, missteps, the running of a sewing machine, lifting of heavy weights, rapid stair-climbing, sea-bathing, etc. Predisposing Causes. Paternal. Syphilis, ex treme youth or old age, debauchery.
