The Great Obstetrician of Antiquity

Nice to know the Romans weren't all bad. They had their own Dr. Praetorious.

Those silly old midwives, washing their hands! Surely the benefit of an attending physician's knowledge and expertise would outweigh the risk of puerperal fever due to their poor hygiene…right? Funny how handwashing is still being ridiculed today in some circles.

Also? I am amazed at average family size. In addition to their advanced contraceptives and abortafacients, is it possible they were having less heterosexual sex? Just asking…Enquiring minds and all…

WHO is ridiculing handwashing??? It remains the single most effective method of slowing down the transmission of germs.

I'm pretty sure I was delivered by one of this guy's students.

"Abortions caused by 'drink' were prohibited; Soranus, however, defines a variety of suppositories, all of which were quite likely very effective, based on modern knowledge of biochemistry." —

Interesting. So this fellow devised spontaneous-abortion interventions? Do tell us more. This is good stuff.

And God bless that man for the hand-washing suggestion. It still amazes me that what would seem to be counterintuitive to people, even thousands of years ago, was not. Amazing.

The Cedar resin reference got me. Doesn't it behave like a topical anesthetic? What's your interpretation of how it was being used as a contraceptive? Surely, it can't be the obvious… men wouldn't tolerate that.

Cedar resin has astringent properties, and produces local irritation. Its use in antiquity was to heal wounds (presumably due to its astringent properties, and perhaps as a styptic), and as an abortive, possibly by irritation of the mouth of the uterus.

You can buy the stuff from "herbalists." I think I'd stick to OCs, personally.

I'm sorry but I can't seem to get past the guy's name. Okay…okay….let me mature now….he sounds like he should've been born in our time!

From an engineering perspective I don't grasp how a lock of fine wool would possibly stay in the orifice of the uterus (cervix?) during intercourse. Maybe it was the precursor to the diaphragm.

Remember, this was the days of the woman as passive receptacle. A good Roman matron probably just lay on her back. So no problem.

Please provide more detail on specific cuts and increases.
