I am myself acquainted with a woman twenty-six years of age who in girlhood underwent oöphorectomy on account of extremely severe nervous troubles associated with menstruation; she had not experienced in consequence any loss of the sexual impulse; she married a man belonging to the upper strata of society, and consulted me four years later to learn if she could by any means be rendered capable of bearing a child. Two other cases have come within my personal experience in which young women married after extirpation of the ovaries, and in whom sexual desire and sexual sensation were all that could be wished. In twenty-seven women who had undergone the operation of oöphorectomy, _Gläveke_ made inquiries regarding the three following points: First, whether the sexual impulse had been affected by the operation; secondly, whether during intercourse sexual pleasure was experienced to the same degree as formerly; and thirdly, whether during intercourse any kind of difference was observed as compared with pre-operative experience. He obtained the following results: Sexual inclination was Unaffected in 6 cases 22 per cent. Diminished in 10 cases 37 per cent. Extinguished in 11 cases 41 per cent. Sexual pleasure during coitus was Unaffected in 8 cases 31 per cent. Diminished in 10 cases 38 per cent. Extinguished in 8 cases 31 per cent.
