In 1912 an american doctor invented a treatment for women who suffered from "excessive sexual apetite": the doctor transplanted testicles from goats into their vaginas.
In the 19th century an examination of pregnant women could be so rough they had miscarriages.
Soranus, ancient Greece, who was a doctor in Rome 100 a.d, has described instruments, which are still used today, among others a speculum to hold the vagina open during examination.
Pregnancytests were used in Iraq 2700 years ago. According to an old clay tablet, the woman was to put a certain plant into her urine. If the plant changed colour, she was pregant.
The gynocologists in the victorian Britain had hopeless workingstandards. Women talking to men about their vaginal problems was not looked well upon, and it was even less popular that the doctor were to look at it. Of that reason, many examinations were done in darkness.
