New views on the etiology of myomas
On the basis of clinical and pathological-anatomical studies of 300 myomas S. concludes that the only scientifically acceptable cause of myomas is syphilis. This is supported by the following considerations: the onset of maturation in myoma patients proceeds with the phenomena of hypothyroidism and hyperfunction of the ovaries and pituitary gland; this congenital dystrophy,-the so-called neuroarthritismus, or congestive diathesis, is actually a congenital syphilitic dystrophy. In 100% of all cases of patients with uterine myomas, the author was able to prove the presence of hereditary syphilitic diseases on the part of the father or mother.
