Excerpt from A Critical Enquiry Into the Antient and Modern Method of Curing Diseases in the Urethra and Bladder: Illustrated by a Great Variety of Cases
It is necessary also for me to remark, that the greatest irritability does not always arise out of those cases where the stream of urine is smallest; for very often we find, when the stream of urine is very narrow indeed, that the patient does not so licit to-discharge his urine more frequently than when the Urethra was sound, only he is a longer time in discharging it. And on' the contrary, I have seen, when a bougie of a moderate size can be passed without much hesitation, such great dis tress, from a constant solicitation to urine, that the first glass of wine, or the slightest provocation, will disturb the patient, and his urine must be directly evacuated. These very essential differences ought to be attended to, and it will be expected fi'om professional men, that they should at least attempt to account for them. An obstruction which is the nearest to the neck of the Bladder, will excite the greatest irritation; and from observation I am dis posed to judge, In many of the instances when a constant soiicitation' to urine prevails, that it is not owing to a constitutional irritability in the pa tient, (that idea being too remote'and vague) but to the particular part which is affected, to the na ture and duration of that affection, and to his habits.
