Aspasia (medic)
Aspasia (* 1st century AD) was probably a Greek woman who worked in the field of gynecology and obstetrics . It is not to be confused with Aspasia from Miletus .
Act
No scriptures are available on the life of Aspasia . At the end of the 5th century AD, Aëtios of Amida presented her medical work in his compilation. The 16th book, which summarizes the knowledge of gynecology and obstetrics, contains fourteen chapters by Aspasia, which either come from her work or were described after it.
After Aetius von Amida , Aspasia dealt with the development and application of ointments and plasters , but also performed operations in this context. He also takes up their instructions for midwives on the treatment of a womb kink (retroversio uteri) verbatim.
