Tibetan Gynecology
Gynecology is a special part of Tibetan Medicine. It also contains a large area of pediatrics and maternity subjects. Tibetan Medicine holds this topic to be very important because Tibetan women are reluctant to speak about these problems, especially in the villages and in remote areas. This is due to social taboos and to their highly developed sense of privacy. It is therefore very probable that an important number of women died in the past, leaving the unsolved mystery of their death to their physicians and families. Because of this curtain of silence and darkness, Tibetan physicians developed techniques, in which they gained great experience, for the diagnosis of hidden disorders so that they could be revealed and treated.  This is why their findings were so precise even before scientific diagnostics were developed.
