  • The menses are often suppressed and the kidneys congested.
  • It seems as if the monthly congestion, instead of venting itself as it should through the uterine vessels, had extended to the kidneys.
  • With it all, there is a profound deep sadness.
  • Patient must be doing something to engage the mind.
  • Remember it, for women with prolapsus from atony, enervated by indolence and luxury (better when attention is engaged-hence when the doctor comes), or for those worn out with hard work; tired, strained muscles burn and ache; sleepless.
  • Constant aching and tenderness over kidneys.
