Constant urging to urinate, most painfultenesmus. Flow stopping and starting. The urethra is painful to pressure. Micturition is remarkablyslow, only a feeble stream because of the smallness of the urethra.It is the nature of this remedy to infiltrate and inflame tissues, and hence it is useful in thosecases of gonorrhea where they have been slow in passing away, where they have been treated byinjection. That slow inflammation of the urethra will infiltrate and the urethra feels like a largewhipcord painful upon pressure, and this goes on until the canal is almost closed.You will be surprised to find, when Clematis is indicated, that after giving that remedy thedischarge is re-established, and soon the old stricture goes away.
