UTERINE HEMORRHAGE. BLEEDING FROM THE WOMB.
Why Exactly Does Bleeding from Womb Occur and What is the diet?
- This is an entirely different and much more serious affection than menstruation during pregnancy.
- It is almost always either a precursor of abortion, or else is a sign of placental presentation.
- This can only be decided by carefully watching the case, or by a vaginal examination.
- In the mean time, the patient should be put to bed immediately, and preserve the horizontal position not only until the complete cessation of the discharge, but until all danger of its return is past.
- Cold drinks and spare diet should be given ; the body kept cool ; the bed covering light, and the room moderate in temperature.
TREATMENT :
If the
bleeding should occur in consequence of a muscular effort to
raise or carry anything, a violent exertion of the body, of a misstep, or fall, or blow upon the stomach or back,
Arnica should
be given, either in the tincture or 3d dilution, and repeated
every five, ten or fifteen minutes, according to the urgency of
the case.
Ipecac, should be used if the flow of blood is copious, and
comes in a continued stream, attended with pains at the navel,
bearing down efforts, arid pressure upon the womb, and lower
bowel, with chills, or general coldness, but heat of the head and
face, general lassitude and inclination to lie down.
Dose.
Either sufficient of the tincture or powder should be given
produce slight nausea, or else the 3d or 6th dilution may be used
every ten or fifteen minutes until relief ensues.
Chamomilla may be used, when nearly the same symptoms
are present as those mentioned as indicating the use of Ipecac. ;
especially if the pains are like labor-pains.
Platina, when the blood is black and thick, but not coagulated
or grumous ; when there is a dragging sensation from the back
to the groins, and the internal genitals are exceedingly sore and
tender to the touch.
