Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...of nervous filaments throughout the uterine tissues is generally admitted, though there are differences of opinion as to their actual size. At its central portion around the internal os uteri there are nervous filaments forming part of those tissues. When compression of the uterine tissues at this situation occurs, these filaments participate in that compression, hence the sensation of pain. There are still other views as to the etiology of the pain in question requiring to be considered. It seems probable that some part of the discomfort felt by the subjects of uterine flexion during locomotion is due to the stretching and tension of the ligaments or attachments of the uterus. Thus the feelings described as 'sinking' and 'bearing-down, ' which are often complained of, seem due to this tension of the uterine attachments. The round ligament, the broad ligaments, and the utero-ovarian ligament are the ligaments principally affected, some more, some less. The socalled ovarian pain, which has for a long time been considered evidence of ovarian inflammation, is generally traceable, according to my experience, to uterine flexion, and it has seemed to me to depend on traction of the connection between the ovary and the uterus produced by the flexion. In cases of retroflexion a severe pain, situated near the groin on one or other side, is in rare cases observed, and has appeared to me to arise from tension and stretching of the round ligament. In this place also it is proper to direct attention to the fact that when the ovary is actually displaced downwards, as is sometimes the case in flexion of the uterus backwards, the pain produced by locomotion is very acute and severe. This displacement of the ovary is, however, a comparatively rare complication of uterine fle..
