The walls of the vagina, being in a relaxed state, and acted on by an expulsive force from behind protrude externally. This displacement is usually met with during the period of "heat;" and sometimes disappears spontaneously when that function is over for the time being.

Symptoms

A red, soft, elastic swelling is observed at the external parts. The os uteri may be felt through and above it. If not returned, the swelling is apt to be injured, and it then becomes hard and disposed to bleed. The surface gets excoriated, and the natural secretion is increased in quantity.

Treatment

The treatment is cleanliness, the frequent employment of cold-water douches, and the application or injection of the hydrastis in-fusion.*
