GLEET (Chronic Clap).
1. SYMPTOMS.--When gonorrhoea is not cured at the end of twenty-one or
twenty-eight days, at which time all {469} discharge should have ceased, we
have a condition known as chronic clap, which is nothing more or less than
gleet. At this time most of the symptoms have abated, and the principal one
needing medical attention is the discharge, which is generally thin, and
often only noticed in the morning on arising, when a scab will be noticed,
glutinating the lips of the external orifice. Or, on pressing with the
thumb and finger from behind, forward, a thin, white discharge can be
noticed.
2. HOME TREATMENT.--The diet of patients affected with this disease is
all-important, and should have careful attention. The things that should be
avoided are highly spiced and stimulating foods and drinks, as all forms of
alcohol, or those containing acids. Indulgence in impure thoughts is often
sufficient to keep a discharge, on account of the excitement it produces to
the sensitive organs, thus inducing erections, which always do harm.
3. GENERAL TREATMENT.--The best injection is:
Nitrate of silver, 1/4 grain.
Pure water, 1 oz.
Inject three or four times a day after urinating.
STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA.
SYMPTOMS.--The patient experiences difficulty in voiding the urine, several
ineffectual efforts being made before it will flow. The stream is
diminished in size, of a flattened or spiral form, or divided in two or
more parts, and does not flow with the usual force.
TREATMENT.--It is purely a surgical case and a competent surgeon must be
consulted.
PHIMOSIS.
1. CAUSE.--Is a morbid condition of the penis, in which the glans penis
cannot be uncovered, either on account of a congenital smallness of the
orifice of the foreskin, or it may be due to the acute stage of gonorrhoea,
or caused by the presence of soft chancre.
2. SYMPTOMS.--It is hardly necessary to give a description of the symptoms
occurring in this condition, for it will be easily diagnosed, and its
appearances are so indicative that all that is necessary is to study into
its cause and treat the disease with reference to that.
TREATMENT.--If caused from acute gonorrhoea, it should be treated first by
hot fomentations, to subdue the swelling, when the glans penis can be
uncovered. If the result of the formation of chancre under the skin, they
should be treated by a surgeon, for it may result in the sloughing off of
the end of the penis, unless properly treated.
