Gonorrhea

Galen: Most Influential Writer Of  Medicine 




Galen In The Year 130 AD Coined The Word Gonorrhea 


Gonorrhea: Described By Albert Neisser in 1879





Self Experimentation and Gonorrhea

Hunter was elected as Fellow of the Royal Society in 1767. At this time he was considered the leading authority on veneral diseases, and believed that gonorrhea and syphillis were caused by a single pathogen. Living in an age when physicians frequently experimented on themselves, he was the subject of an often-repeated legend claiming that he had inoculated himself with gonorrhea, using a needle that was unknowingly contaminated with syphilis. When he contracted both syphilis and gonorrhea, he claimed it proved his erroneous theory that they were the same underlying venereal disease. The experiment, reported in Hunter's A Treatise on the Venereal Diseases (part 6 section 2, 1786), does not indicate self-experimentation; this experiment was most likely performed on a third party. Hunter championed treatment of gonorrhea and syphilis with mercury and cauterization.
