The significance of electricity for medicine in the modern industrial age should not be underestimated. Particularly in connection with neurasthenia, electrotherapeutic approaches also experienced a boom for domestic use. Thus, electrotherapy reached urology just as it was becoming established as a medical specialty. We analyzed urological manuals and textbooks and objects in the W. P. Didusch Center for Urologic History and the Museum zur Geschichte der Urologie in Berlin to present the wide range of indications for electrotherapy in the emerging field of urology from impotence to urethral strictures and try to highlight the variability of their importance over time.
在现代工业时代,电对医学的重要性不可低估。特别是与神经衰弱相关的电疗方法,在家庭应用中也经历了蓬勃发展。因此,正当电疗成为一门医学专科时,它也进入了泌尿外科领域。我们分析了泌尿外科手册、教科书以及华盛顿特区W.P.迪杜施泌尿外科历史中心和柏林泌尿外科历史博物馆中的物品,以展示电疗在新兴泌尿外科领域从阳痿到尿道狭窄的广泛适应症,并试图突出其重要性随时间的变化。
