We have seen its effect in producing retrover-sio uteri. We must also attend to this connection, as tendingto the displacement of the bladder in the procidentia uterus sinking into the vagina, and the upper part of thevagina being at the same time reflected into the lower part,pulls down the bladder with it, and when (the disease increas-ing) the womb covered by the vagina comes to hang from theexternal parts, it has happened that the bladder has sunk downand lain upon the forepart of the tumour, but of course withinthe everted vagina. Third showing the effect of Procidentia on the Thus, by comparing this fourth plan v/ith the first of thefemale pelvis, we may judge of the nature of this displace-ment of the womb, and its effects on the bladder of urine.
