Posts: Science and Nature / Syphilis- clapping a male's balls to dislodge the parasite?

So I have heard a few times that back in the days of old, doctors use to clap the balls of males who had syphilis to dislodge the parasite from their urethra so they could pee. I'm now trying to find actual evidence of this. Has anyone else heard of this method, more importantly read it somewhere?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. (I know, I bring classy topics to this forum)

I am not sure about peeing but I do know its an effective treatment for correcting behavioral problems in men.

You might want to review animal research on the subject. I know its not exactly what your looking for but it might be a procedure used by vets. I feel like I have read something about that method used in rabbits.

haha, my medical microbiology professor would just shake her head.

I need to find Sarah, she's a goddess when it comes to finding articles for odd things.
