The situation gradually began to change: in 1859, Paul Briquet remarked that "we saw little hysteria in men because we did not want to see it", and between 1875 and 1902, some three hundred medical articles were devoted to the topic of male hysteria, as well as dozens of dissertations.
Freud, in 1886, gave a paper about the topic of male hysteria to the Imperial Society of Physicians in Vienna.
