Rational hydrotherapy : a manual of the physiological and therapeutic effects of hydriatic procedures, and the technique of their application in the treatment of disease . ch douche to the hypogastrium affordsprompt relief in neuralgia of the uterus, the bladder, or theovaries, in uterine pain due to contraction of the cervix,in vaginismus, vesicle tenesmus, and in hyperesthesia of thesympathetic ganglia of the pelvis, as shown by pressure uponthe lumbo-aortic plexus and the sympathetic nodes of thepelvis. THE ABDOMINAL DOUCHE (Fig. 51). 1081 This local application of the douche is properly confined to the anterior abdominal surface. It influences the smallintestines, the colon, and the lumbar ganglia of the abdomi-nal sympathetic. Through these nerve centers importantgeneral effects are produced. A cold douche applied to the abdomen is highly useful inconstipation, especially when it is due to dilatation of thecolon, and enteroptosis. The cold abdominal douche is of service in atony of thebladder, in enteroptosis due to relaxation of the abdominalmuscles, and in pelvic displacements due to atony, when notaccompanied by uterine or ovarian congestions. 1.
