=Inflammation.= The mucous membrane of the vagina is frequently the seat of inflammation. The commonest form is the _catarrhal_, which may be acute or chronic. In the first stage, the passage is reddened, heated and dry. This is followed by an abundant secretion of white, creamy mucus; or of a more purulent discharge, if the inflammation has anything of a specific character. _Croupous inflammations_, in connection with general disease, or a similar disease of the uterus, may occur. They produce a solution of the mucous membrane and the submucous tissue, varying in shape and depth, and not unfrequently resembling gangrenous destruction. (Rokitansky.) A chronic thickening of the mucous membrane, as the result of inflammation, is occasionally met with. The follicular, syphilitic and carcinomatous ulcer also affect this part. _Suppurative inflammation_ may result from injuries, ending in the formation of an abscess in the fibrous structures, which may burrow within the pelvic areolar tissue, or extend into the labia. _Gangrene_ sometimes results from injuries received during parturition, or from a degeneration of croupous inflammation in a vagina affected with blenorrhœa of a gonorrhœal or syphilitic origin. Morbid Growths. _Polypi_ and _cysts_ are the varieties most frequently met with in this situation. The polypi may be either fibro-vesicular, or cellulo-vascular, varying greatly in size. The encysted tumors, originate in an obstruction of the follicles of the part, and contain a glairy, transparent, greenish, or dirty-brown albuminous fluid. _Myomatous_ tumors may be found developed within the muscular coat of the vagina, the posterior wall being their usual position. _Carcinoma_ may occur primarily, or by an extension of the disease from the cervix uteri. The form in which it appears is the encephaloid kind, the appearance of which is described in connection with the uterus. Malignant _epithelial_ growths are not met with in the vagina. Section II.
