In women before the menopause the same conditions result in hemato-metra. Hydrometra in the aged,resulting from imperfect closure ofthe cervical canal or the lower partof the uterine cavity from stenosisor retroflexion, is very apt to befollowed by pyometra, and the offen-sive discharge incident to this con-dition has frequently been taken as.
