Urinary Organs.
Bladder.
Violent pressure upon the bladder which was full, suddenly set in, but as suddenly passed off on the expulsion of considerable flatus in rapid succession, which drove before it some mucus fluid; (after half an hour). These flatulent attacks frequently returned in alternation, with other symptoms. Painful stitches in the bladder, and subsequently alternating in the return, disappearing on the discharge of flatulence.
Urethra.
Burning in the urethra, after urinating. Burning in the orifice of the urethra, on the passage of the last few drops. Pressive pain in the tip of the urethra, as though it were crushed, soon after urinating (after fourteen hours). Stitches along the urethra. A stitch like tearing through the urethra. Urging to urinate. Urgency to urinate, with discharge of a great quantity of clear watery urine (returning at nearly hourly intervals), in the forenoon. Urging to urinate, with pressure in the pubic region (after eight hours).
Urging to urinate, without being able to pass any urine, which generally was very scanty. Repeated urging to urinate. Frequent urging to urinate, with scanty emission. Tenesmus vesicae, frequent, with scanty micturition (after one hour).
Micturition.
Frequent urination. Frequent urination, with an apparently increased flow. More frequent urination. Increased urination. Increased secretion of urine. It almost always caused increased passage of urine, with more or less change of the quality of the urine; Cit was, however, especially like brown beer, becoming turbid as soon as cold, and depositing a copious sediment.
Urine remarkably increased. Copious urination. Copious urine.
Very copious discharge of urine. Profuse urination. Secretion of urine diminished. The urine seems to be scantily secreted. Urine apparently rather diminished. Retention of urine. Retention of urine, with painful retraction of the testes and priapism.
Urine.
Discharge of clear, watery urine during the whole day.
Urine clear, diminished in quantity, dark orange colored, sp. gr.
1030 (normal 1018); reaction acid, “urophein” and uric acid increased, chlorides diminished, epithelium remarkably increased.
Bright urine, but of a somewhat deep wine yellow, and containing a transparent cloud.
The urine presents a very striking similarity in appearance to that in dropsy after scarlatina. It is of a faint flesh color, deposits a light brown, unequal, translucent sediment, and upon the vessel, small, hard, and solid reddish crystals, which adhere so strongly that they are not easily removed by water. The urine passed during the day is somewhat lighter colored than that passed towards evening, night and morning. Urine, immediately, of intolerable odor; on standing it becomes very thick, gelatinous, glutinous, like coagulated albumen. (* Not found.– HUGHES. *).
