Excerpt from An Essay, Literary and Practical, on Inversio Uteri, Vol. 1
It is necessary to distinguish inversion from descent19 of the uterus, although every preceding writer has confounded the two together, more or less. Descent refers to change of position downwards of the whole organ; prolapse is applied to the uterus, when it descends so low as to pass beyond the labia externa, inverted or not inverted.
Pregnancy, the only natural source of enlargement of the uterus, is by far the most frequent of all causes disposing to inversion; and the description given in this section will have reference exclusively to that cause, unless it be otherwise Specified.
Inversion of the uterus is either partial or total; the latter can exist only in one degree, and admits of no sub-divisions. Partial inversion, on the contrary, comprises very many degrees; and there are both physiological and practical reasons for noticing and describing three, by way of classification, namely, depression, introversion, and perversion.
