A Practical Treatise on Impotence, Sterility, and Allied Disorders of the Male Sexual Organs (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Impotence, Sterility, and Allied Disorders of the Male Sexual Organs

OE the afl'ections discussed in this brochure at least two - Impo tence and Spermatorrhoea - ar'e commonly described as functional diseases of the testicles; while, according to my observations, they usually depend upon reflex disturbances of the genito-spinal centre, and are almost invariably induced or maintained by appreciable lesions of the prostatic portion of the urethra, which, as they may not be perceived by the patient, are frequently overlooked by the physician. A more extended knowledge of these pathological facts, it is hoped, will afford a more rational and simple basis for treatment.
