In the early 1900s, gynecology was a developing field, heavily reliant on manual procedures, surgery, and rudimentary diagnostic tools. Gynecologists primarily treated conditions like uterine prolapse, infections, and infertility through invasive procedures such as hysterectomies or oophorectomies. Pelvic examinations with speculums were standard, but without modern imaging technology, diagnosing internal issues was more challenging.

A variety of instruments were used, which included questionable electrical devices that were used to treat conditions like "hysteria" or menstrual problems. It was believed that mild electrical currents could "reset" or stimulate the reproductive organs. These devices were part of the early attempts at using electrotherapy, based on limited understanding of how electricity interacted with the body.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
