Pareira brava.
Urinary Organs.
Micturition difficult, with much pressing and straining only in drops,
with the sensation as if the urine should be emitted in large
quantities.
Violent pains in the bladder, and at times in the back ; the left
testicle is painfully drawn up ; pain in the thighs, shooting down
into the toes and soles of the feet.
Paroxysms of violent pain with the strangury ; he cries on loud,
and can only emit urine when he goes on his knees pressing his head
firmly against the floor ; remaining in this position for ten to
twenty minutes, perspiration breaks out, and finally the urine begins to
drop off with interruptions, accompanied by tearing, burning pains at
the point of the penis.
Urine smells strongly of Ammonium,
and contains a large quantity of viscid, thick, white mucus.
[5] The paroxysms appear generally from
3 to 6 A.M. ; amelioration through the day.
Almost cartilaginous induration of the mucous membrane of the bladder.
Similar conditions of the bladder are to be found under Berberis
vulgaris, but not the ammoniacal
smell ; and the pain under Berberis
is in the hip, not, as under Pareira,
in the thigh.
Berberis has also paralysis of the
bladder with discharge of great quantities of mucus, which deposits
itself at the bottom of the vessel and is viscid.
