Uterine infections usually occupy the inner orifice, owing their origin to some pathological processes leading to adhesive inflammation to the area of ​​the inner mouth; the process consists in the violation of the integrity of the tissue (ulcerative!) with the formation of a scar. Most often this happens after gangrene, after difficult labor, especially with the rough use of obstetric instruments, after which infectious diseases (diphtheria, smallpox, typhus, scarlet fever, measles), from non-rational means of caustic pointed out cases of atresia depending on senile atrophy of the genital organs, (which easily leads to the development of the ulcerative process); finally, some authors (Fritsch, Pozzi) point to one more ethiological moment of atresia — after amputation of the vaginal part.
