As soon as the instrument has arrived at the bulb, its further progress is liable to be arrested, from these causes: -- 1st, This portion of the canal is the lowest part of its perinaeal curve, 3, 6, 8, and is closely embraced by the middle fibres of the accelerator urinae muscle. 2nd, It is immediately succeeded by the commencement of the membranous urethra, which, while being naturally narrower than other parts, is also the more usual seat of organic stricture, and is subject to spasmodic constriction by the fibres of the compressor urethrae. 3d, The triangular ligament is behind it, and if the urethral opening of the ligament be not directly entered by the instrument, this will bend the urethra against the front of that dense structure.
