Sterility.And first of all, let it not be forgotten that the husband may be and often is responsible for the failure to procreate. In about one case out of six unfruitful marriages, the fault lies in the fact that the male fluid is either incapable of fecundating the ovum, or is prevented by some fault or disease of the male sexual organs from escaping into the vagina. This is peculiarly often the case with men who have, in their earlier years, been unfortunate in their indiscretions. In the majority of instances, however, the difficulty lies in the female. Evidently any one of four causes may prevent conception, even though the male element be of proper quality : first, any obstacle to the entrance of the seminal fluid into the womb ; second, any condition which prevents the formation in the ovaries of perfect ova ; third, any obstacle to the escape of those ova into the womb ; fourth, any condition which prevents the fecundated ova from lodging and receiving nourishment from the lining membrane of the womb. Among the obstacles to the entrance of the seminal fluid into the womb are displacements of this organ, extreme minuteness of the opening into its cavity, fibroid or other tumors, and vaginismus (the condition of unnatural sensitiveness which renders intercourse impossible). Among the causes which may prevent the formation of perfect ova are inflammation and tumors of the ovaries. Among the obstacles to the proper lodgment and proper growth of the ovum are the various forms of uterine inflammation, menorrhagia and metrorrhagia. It is scarcely necessary to refer in detail to the different ways in which these various conditions prevent conception ; nor is it possible to point out the means for ascertaining what the particular difficulty is in every case. In justice to wives, however, who, in the popular mind, are usually held responsible for sterility, and who keenly feel the reproach attaching to this condition, it should be said that the first step in ascertaining the cause for the sterility of a married pair should be an examination as to the capabilities of the husband. By a microscopic examination it can readily be determined which party is responsible for the failure to produce children. Whether or not the condition can be remedied depends, of course, upon the source of the difficulty. Many of the causes above enumerated as preventing conception can be readily removed. In every case the matter must be placed in the hands of the medical adviser, who alone can determine the cause of and responsibility for the difficulty.
