Dr. Child says, "Syphilis exerts its usual baneful
influence, but gonorrhoea is responsible for more pathological (diseased)

lesions (conditions) in the female pelvis than any other one factor. Its

attack, if not resulting in ultimate loss of life, always leaves the

tissue in an impaired condition, from which resolution (returning to

natural condition) is rare. It is doubtful if a woman once infected with

gonorrhoea ever recovers from its ravages. As a cause of sterility its

power is beyond estimation."
