Abstract
The large corpus of Babylonian medical texts is much less known to medical history than the contemporary medical papyri from Egypt, but offer a rich new source of information regarding ancient diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Babylonian physicians systematically noted systems related to kidney and urinary tract diseases. Pharmacological prescriptions tended to consist of plant and mineral substances administered either orally in drinks, or were inserted directly into the urethra through a tube.Entities:
