NYMPHO-MANIA. 563. >-— slight, the organ being removed with forceps and scissors, or with a bistoury after the animal has been hobbled or placed in a trevis. The haemorrhage which follows removal of the clitoris is of little im- portance, and after-treatment simply consists in lvee])ing the parts clean. Animals so treated can sometimes be preserved for breeding. When nympho- mania co-exists with, and is a de- layed consequence of, either chronic vaginitis or metri- tis localised in the neck of the uterus, or, again, chronic metritis of the cavity of the uterus, etc., the treatment must be directed against these diseases, and the nervous condition may be sufficiently modified to render the animals useful for breeding, or at least for slaughter, while fattening is easy. Similarly, when the nervous condi- tion results from a lesion of the ovary, improvement will only follow re- moval of the diseased part. The operation is similar to that of castration of the female. It presents, however, certain added difficulties, in consequence of the size of the organs and of the al)normal adhesions which often occur. Neverthe- less, these difficulties are seldom insurmountable. In the case of peri-uterine disease operation is difficult, and it is better to slaughter the animal. o o 2 cai [ 'v^ :l ( Iv-^ J Fig. 236.—Specimen of lesious found in nympho-mania.
