          That’s why, to this day, removal of a woman’s uterus is still called a ‘hysterectomy’. As in, removal of what causes hysteria.

          The Greek word ‘hystera’ means womb, or uterus, so ‘hysteria’ is literally just ‘uterus syndrome’. To take a broader brush, it kind of means ‘woman syndrome’.

          Surprises me we still use this naming convention in English, given the obvious modern connotations.

      Wet dreams? Though when I’m sick, congestion seems to disappear when I sleep (only to return after I wake up.) So if that’s normal and if wet dreams have some kind of decongestant property, we may never know.
