Summary: | This article based on the treatise Liber de sinthomatibus muluerum considered one of the most important medieval treaties on gynecology and obstetrics discusses the issues related to the problem of male and female infertility. Despite the fact that its author remains unknown the treatise is an important source showing the state of medical knowledge in this area. Despite the fact that the author tells about procreation of both sexes, he defi nitely paid more attention to women what indicates that for him they were more responsible for the lack of offspring. Information about irregular menstruation, abnormal physical structure and psychological problems show that it was already known how many factors impact on procreation. |
