IV. Or it may be caused from External Violence, or too sharp and corrosive Medicines injected into the Womb, or taken at the Mouth.
V. The Sighs. It is known by the pain and pricking which is felt in the Part, as also by voiding of Sanies, Pus, or filthy stink∣ing Excrements, or a virulent Gonorrhaea, an impure Coition go∣ing before.
VI. The Differences. It is either, 1. Simple, wherein the Matter is little, white, and not stinking. 2. Or Malign, where∣in the Matter will be greenish, yellowish, livid, and party-co∣loured, coming away with Pain and Stink. 3. Or Venereal, at∣tended with other Symptoms of the Pox. 4. Or Cancerous, at∣tended with a great Tumor, Hardness, continual Pain, and either a bloody, or black stink∣ing Running.
VII. The Prognosticks. All Ʋlcers of the Womb are Cured with some difficulty; nor, accor∣ding to Hippocrates, is any Ul∣cer of that Part to be Highted, because the Womb is a Part very sensible, and as it were the Sink of the Body, to which a Flood of Excrements perpetually flow.
VIII. If it proceeds from a Ve∣nereal Cause, it is not to be per∣fectly Cured, but by the Me∣thods which are taken for the Cure of that Disease.
IX. If it is Phagedenick, or Cancerous, it is for the most part incurable, and vexes the Sick all her Life long.
X. Also, most Ʋlcers of the Womb, if they be carelesly hand∣led, produce grievous Symp∣toms, and sometimes a Gan∣grene.
