_Prostatorrhœa_, may exist as an independent, uncomplicated and local disease, or in conjunction with spermatorrhœa. My experience leads me to remark, that the latter seldom exists without the former, but that prostatorrhœa commonly exists as an independent disease; and when the flow of semen does not amount to sufficient, in frequency, to consider it a cause or a consequence of disease. In my judgment, this flow of glary, viscid fluid is most commonly observed while straining at stool from constipation. Young men very commonly apply to specialists and exhaust their funds and return to the less pretentious family doctor for a more satisfactory and truthful statement. Even with this little discharge of prostatic fluid, and when no sign of spermatorrhœa existed with it, the young man may experience all the phenomena of true and long-standing spermatorrhœa. His mind suffers, as well as his body, with imaginary nervous phenomena too numerous to mention. But in these conditions it is not uncommon to find very troublesome disease of the prostate gland, brought on by gonorrhœa, sexual excesses or masturbation, existing alone or with true spermatorrhœa. An examination will reveal enlargement and tenderness of the gland, commonly irritation of the neck of the bladder. If we make inquiry, the history of prostatic inflammation will be obtained, and gonorrhœa or venereal excesses. Pressure upon the prostate, through the rectum, will not uncommonly cause a discharge of prostatic liquid, which is followed by a smarting sensation. Copulation and ejaculation are sometimes followed by a burning pain in the prostate gland, which lasts sometimes a few hours――commonly a few moments. Prolonged erection is followed by a discharge of viscid fluid, not ejaculated, but simply flowing away. When the bowels are constipated, as scybala pass the gland, a viscid fluid is pressed out and drips from the end of the penis with a smarting soreness, prolonged in the gland. The fluid is not hurled forth, or ejaculated in jets, like semen, but a thin glary fluid. The disease is commonly only local, and needs very little constitutional treatment. The tinct. staphisagria, so highly recommended by many, will often act very kindly as an adjunct, but will not cure the disease. Cascara sagrada must be used for a long time, to regulate the bowels and digestion. Faradisation, localized and general, is the only agency that may at nearly all times be relied on for permanent relief. When the disease exists with true spermatorrhœa the above treatment is none the less essential, and only needs modification to meet special indications.
