Venereology is a science that studies sexually transmitted diseases. The
term "venereology" came from the Latin "Venus" - Venus (in Roman mythology,
the goddess of love and beauty, in figurative and poetic speech – a beautiful
woman) and the Greek "logos" - doctrine, science.
The term “sexually transmitted diseases” combines infectious diseases that
are transmitted, usually through sexual contact. They used to be called "voluptuous
diseases."
The history of the development of venereology. In the history of the
development of venereology, two doctrines should be distinguished: unitarists and
dualists. Scientists who considered syphilis as a manifestation of all sexually
transmitted diseases were classified as unitarists. An ardent representative of this
teaching was an authoritative English physician and scientist Genter. In Cheney's e
Unitarianism b s lo wrong, but it continued to dominate until the beginning of XIX
century.
The representative of the dualist teachings was the French venereologist F.
Ricore, who proved that syphilis and gonorrhea are various independent diseases.
The beginning of the development of scientific venereology in Russia dates back to
the second half of the 19
th
century. Professor of the St. Petersburg Medical
Academy V.M. is rightfully and rightly considered the founder of the national
syphilological school. Tarnovsky, thanks to him, syphilology for the first time
stood out from the course of surgery in an independent discipline. In 1885, he
organized the Russian Syphilidological and Dermatological Society - the first
scientific society of dermatovenerologists in Europe. Currently, the St. Petersburg
Society of Dermatovenereologists is named after V. Tarnovsky.
