=Promptly Cured.=--This inflammation can be promptly cured by the frequent
use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash. Prepare this strictly according
to the directions on each package, and use it as a vaginal injection two
or three times a day. The cure will be hastened by employing a sitz-bath
(sitting in a tub of hot water, or in a bath-tub).
=To Prevent Extension of Disease.=--In order to prevent the inflammation
from extending into the uterus, it is always wise to take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for a few days after an attack of this
kind.
=Pruritus, Itching.=--Pruritus, or itching of the external parts, is a
most annoying affection, which often renders life itself almost
unendurable. Its most frequent cause is due to irritating discharges
from the uterus or vagina. Quite a large per cent of the women who are
passing through the "change of life" are troubled in this way.
It is also a marked symptom of diabetes, or "sugar in the urine;" and if
the itching is associated with an unusually large flow of urine,
together with dryness of the mouth and extreme thirst, there is a
probability that the person is suffering from diabetes. In such a case a
specimen of the urine should be taken to a competent physician, and he
should be asked to make a thorough examination of it in order to
definitely determine this point.
=Treatment.=--The treatment of pruritus consists in keeping the parts
thoroughly cleansed by frequent vaginal injections of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash, even three or four injections daily; and also bathing the
external parts with the same solution.
=Can Be Promptly Controlled.=--Although medical writers so generally claim
that this disease is almost impossible to relieve, and although they
recommend the application of severe caustics, yet I have never found any
difficulty in promptly controlling and curing this affection by the
faithful and persistent use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash as a
local application and the Vegetable Compound for its constitutional
effects.
=Constitutional Treatment Necessary.=--Although this disease shows itself
in only one place, yet the difficulty is in the whole system, and can
only be thoroughly removed by the internal use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Thousands of letters from women tell that their life
of agony, distress, and sleeplessness was changed to one of perfect
comfort almost immediately upon the use of these remedies.
=Bladder, Inflammation of.=--Sometimes the inflammation of the vagina and
uterus is so severe that it involves the bladder; or an irritable
condition of the bladder may be produced by a pregnant uterus pressing
forward against it; or the uterus may be tipped forward a trifle more
than natural, and thus press against the bladder sufficient to cause
irritation.
