After the organ has been reduced he sometimes can detect semen, or
prostatic fluid, on the glans and meatus, and he is very soon ready
to perform the act again. I have often discovered spermatozoa in his
urine. His testicles are well formed, and his penis is normal in
appearance. He has never had a venereal disease, and has no stricture.
Treatment has given no relief as yet. It will be observed that
satyriasis is prominent in this case.
Galvanism will often be found of great service as a paliative measure,
with phosphide zinc and nux vomica. If a few years’ continence can be
obtained, a better prospect for recovery may obtain. When galvanism is
used, an insulated electrode should be passed to the orifices of the
ejaculatory ducts, with the anode attached, and the cathode applied to
the cord with wet sponge. I have derived some benefit from localized
and general Faradisation, after the manner heretofore mentioned.
