    1. Sensation. 2. Motion. 3. Secretion. Following this order, the neuroses of the urinary apparatus will be treated first, and then those of the sexual organs. 1. (V) The Sensory Neuroses which stand in the closest relation to the urinary <ij>]>«rius are sometimes confined to the urethra and blad- der alone; sometimes, however, they appear also in the form of cutaneous hyperesthesia in the vicinity of the urinary organs. In the urethra the patients sometimes feel a troublesome burn- ing, which is especially severe in the pars pen- dula and about the fossa navicularis. This burning is either constant, or it occurs only during, and for a short time after, micturition. At times the patients complain of an increased sensitiveness, of a feeling of rawness of the urethra Qiyperccsthesia urethra?}. Not infre- quently, however, the sensitiveness of the ure- thra increases to a periodically recurring shoot- ing pain, which, according to the account of the patients, gives rise to a feeling as if a red-hut wire had been pushed into the urethra from behind toward the glans penis (neuralgia ure- thra?). These neuralgic pains often come on during and after micturition ; during micturi- tion especially when the penis is slightly com- pressed with the ringers. 2 B
