In the following year his right testicle became affected and was also removed.

The patient stated that since the removal of the second gland he had regular sexual desire and coitus, apparently not differing from that in which he indulged before castration.

For a few months previous to the time of report the cord on the left side, which had not been completely extirpated, became extremely painful and was also removed.
Atrophy of the testicle may follow venereal excess, and according to Larrey, deep wounds of the neck may produce the same result, with the loss of the features of virility.

Guthrie mentions a case of spontaneous absorption of the testicle.

According to Larrey, on the return of the French Army from the Egyptian expedition the soldiers complained of atrophy and disappearance of the testicle, without any venereal affection.
