Coccus Cacti 276 is a special symptom of the Coccus ailment. In Coccus, there is sometimes difficulty in swallowing also. In Coccus the urinary symptoms such as the urgent need to urinate, passing small brick red particles and gravel in the urine, and the presence of uric acid causing a stabbing type of pain from the kidney down to the bladder (renal colic), are of great importance. Sometimes the urination may suddenly stop altogether. Regarding the symptoms in women, menstrual blood is thick, dark and contains large blood clots. This may be associated with an inability to pass urine (i. e. retention of urine). The periods become interrupted, resuming only at night. After the running nose stops, the yellowish sticky secretions stick inside the nose. After blowing the nose, the inner lining feels as if it is burning. The patient feels extremely thirsty. Mental depression, solitude and silence or excessive talking, are also the symptoms of Coccus (like Lachesis). In Coccus, the catarrh can also affect the stomach, intestines and inner linings.
