Treatment.—This consists in favoring spontaneous reduction by ap-propriate postures on the patients part. If it does not occur, theGermans, more audacious than Cazeaux, advise artificial reduction asearly as possible, and support by means of a pessary. Hiiter, going stillfurther, recommends these measures even at eight Fig. 11.—Complete Prolapse op Uterus at Term.—Pi-esentation of a foot: (multipara, agedthirty-eight.) a, Meatus urinarious. b, Prolapsed uterus, c, Cervix at term, through which afootprojects. If reduction fails, the uterus is to be sustained by a suspensory bandageand removed from all causes of irritation. If symptoms of incarceration are developed, artificial abortion is justifi-able. When labor is protracted, artificial delivery is to be carefully per-formed by the forceps or version. The uterus is subsequently reduced. Uterine Deviations.
