- Doctors once believed that the uterus would just start wandering around your body, leading to "hysteria." Spoiler Alert: That's not a thing! Isn't it great to be alive... now?

The wandering uterus animation killed me 😂
wandering uterus right
I'm definitely *extra thankful for modern medicine* right now
Yeahh; old medicine was scary ridiculous thing. I wonder if someone will think same about current medicine same way long time in future : )
Eh, it's getting there.
guitarplayer32 Where I live, that's a crime.
true, just imagine a dentist in the 1700
guitarplayer32 Excuse me, westerners? In almost all western countries we do not do that. Only the US.
“Uterine melancholy”
Wow, even my uterus has depression
I mean, given how hard it is to get diagnosed with anything as a woman, I feel like this might as well still be around. When I was sixteen I lost twenty pounds and couldn't eat properly for over a year before I was finally diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. Like, a solid fourteen months of tests with no answers. I'm pretty sure I was given like fifteen pregnancy tests over that year, in spite of my repeated insistence that I wasn't sexually active.
Wright Family thats awful. Thats the worst
Wright Family whoa
Wright Family took my doctors 8 MONTHS to find out I had uterus cancer. You absolutely are correct. Doctors dont give a f. My doctors told me i just had aniexty. Never had aniexty.
Waaa😭
It took me 20 *YEARS* to get diagnosed with endometriosis. I always knew something was wrong. But, everyone I talked to - friends, family, doctors - either ignored me, told me it was no big deal, or just told me to suck it up and deal with it. I finally got diagnosed after it had progressed to the point that it nearly landed me in the hospital. I told the doctor - a woman - about how my concerns had been ignored and shrugged off for years. She was absolutely horrified. She held my hand, looked me right in the eye, and said, "I am so, so sorry. No one should ever have to go through that." Not only did she apologize on behalf of the entire medical community, but I swear I thought she was going to start crying.

I love this video. Women's health is still a large issue in America that is often misunderstood or ignored. Doctors should be more comfortable with admitting they don't know everything
laila franklin Hello, it’s definitely important to do ones own research.
Use as a guide , but never as a Diagnosis. There are many things a woman can do for herself if she’s willing to put in the effort. 😎
Why would a doctor who is specialised in oby-gyn be admitting to a some random about not knowing everything?... You should say science has still not understood many cause of diseases... Its not only limited to women...
They’re ppl who are educated in school like all of us. Society just placed a heavy burden on them. Given some to forget that a lot of their advice is recommended not necessary. A PHD doesn’t mean you know everything. Think of the experiences that shape their perspective. Then they apply those to their career. If the intentions are cruel the patients are in trouble. Doctors in low income clinics are an example of this. I work in health care I see it way too often
Women get more treatment than men
Doctor: "Well, it's your uterus wandering around your body crushing things".
Also doctor: "Nothing weird about this piece of clothing specifically designed to crush your body into a different shape".
Tiax Anderson helps keep the uterus where it belongs!! - past dr.
A proper lady knows she just needs a tighter one to keep her lady giblets in the proper place.
- Another past Dr.
It was less silly as the vid implied, thinking was that the uterus is not attached to any bones and thus can shake around. plus the whole mouth part is obviously strechy
Tiax Anderson 😹😹😹 I’m on the floor about that flying uterus 😹😹 perfume coaxes it back to the right spot! 😹😹😹 omg I’m dying 😹😹😹 must be my wandering uterus 😺😹😹😹😋😹
It wasn’t the corset but probably rather the complete lack of women’s anatomy and misogyny and not the ancestor of a bra that didn’t at all crush you btw (I know I have worn corsets)
Hysteria wasn't only used to describe why women were too emotional, or to explain a sickness they couldn't understand. It was used as justification for the denial of their rights, their education, and their agency. It had far more to do with finding biological justification for women's suppression that it did in finding explanations for sickness.
Hi
So why are we seeing so many childless single ladies 30+ showing clear signs of Hysteria 😮💨
Atleast that is the modern view upon it
It's still happening, they now just diagnose with BPD.
@Nope. I thought I had feminine traits like softness and sensitivity, but as an HSP, I'm seen as autistic so there is that too. Something really weird is happening with this
This was a WAY different video than what I was expecting, but I loved it
The Phantom 2018 What exactly were you expecting?
Funny story:
Many women with endometriosis used to be diagnosed with Hysteria, and endometriosis is sort of like having your uterus wandering around, except it's only the lining and we don't really know now how it happens.
*Just five minutes of me shaking my head.*
kaykay12152 lmao 😂 same
Five minutes and 10 seconds
Quick! The uterus is on the run!!!
Haha yes!
Uterus wandering around the body does kind of sound like an incredibly basic, misunderstood description of endometriosis though, which is a very common condition that needs more awareness.
Thats funny,even downright Hysterical.
That's why I don't have a uterus, because it got up and walked away. Or because I'm a guy. I know it's one or the other.
rgbii 😂😂😂
It was still in the DSM as recent as 1980??? Wow!
Yes I heard it was until the 1920s and I thought that was bad enough
Gina Pow
ell
When you consider how recent the invention of imagining technologies like fMRI are and that it takes time for research to build following those inventions, it's really not that shocking.
well, by the 1980s, Western female started to have a lot of sex, a lot more than their previous generations.

I do find myself wondering if "hysteria" started out as a way to describe Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, when the surge of hormones right before a woman's period starts can cause a marked increase in any underlying anxiety or depression. Premenstrual Syndrome can also cause or contribute to migraines and mood swings, and I wonder if they were seeing the correlation between symptoms and what the uterus was doing...and then abused the observation. "Wandering Uterus" makes me think of endometriosis, too
it's ahistorical to make an educational video about hysteria without mentioning that in addition to medical problems doctors couldn't figure out, it was also applied to other situations, like when women behaved in a way that men didn't like, (e.g. not wanting to get married, not allowing her husband/male relatives to boss her around, not wanting sex, wanting to much sex etc.) and that the things doctors "couldn't figure out" included pretty much anything related to menstruation, because they wouldn't, and still don't, put the effort into understanding it properly. and that with Freud, despite him trying to say it's not a gendered thing, the implications of his ideas often included assuming that said problems that couldn't be figured out, especially with women (again, included menstrual pain and "improper" behaviour) were a result of mental illness and weren't real. we still see the effects of this when women's pain is very often underestimated compared to men by physicians, but that's another issue entirely;
tl;dr: it's irresponsible and ahistorical for an "educational" youtube channel to talk about hysteria and not talk about its use as a tool to try to force women into line; it contributes to the idea that medical science has always just been a bunch of well-meaning people trying to figure out how best to help everyone without the ability to learn everything they need, rather than a part of society with the same biases and bigotry as society at large.
Preach, say it louder for the people in the back!
absolutely spot on. I'm loving the awareness in these comments that sexism in healthcare is still a big problem.
I agree but they probably didn’t have enough time to fit it all in for this video. Not that they don’t care or are ignoring something they are very likely aware of especially the female member of this team but there are constraints.
@@Toneill029 they chose to gloss over the more challenging aspects of the topic they chose to cover. they could have fit it in, they just chose not to. they mentioned plenty of things that were less important to understanding the full context of the concept of hysteria as a medical diagnosis than its use to medically justify gender based oppression.
Cringe
Ah, the good ol' days when a doctor visit came with a "happy ending."
In the future someone will make the comment " They irradiated their patients to cure cancer, that's barbaric. "
to which we can reply, "look, we're well aware this is less than ideal. If we had any better ideas, we'd be using them"
That's the true big change in medicine: a willingness to admit you don't know what to do
Hmmm now i have this image of a rogue uterus in a ninja suit. Thanks internet!

sometimes the uterus just has to get up and move around /shrug
Seriously, they're just a little capricious is all
One time, when I was like 10 years old, I GMed a D&D campaign for a friend who’s house I stayed at after school. In the campaign, he had a dog that suddenly started to get smarter and smarter, to the point the dog could talk, and eventually, communicate telepathically.
It turned out, the old wizard who worked at the wizard hat shop explained to my friend’s fighter, that his dogs brain was turning upside down in its head, and that was why the dog turned smart and telepathic. But, once it made a full 360, it would go back to normal. ☹️
Also there was an npc that polymorphed into a triceratops and saved my player friend from dangerous situations all the time. Like when he was surrounded by A WHOLE BAD GUY ARMY!
Anyway, I based all my pregame research on wondering womb syndrome. That’s good science right there.
I laughed a little too loudly at work when I was literally seeing the uterus bouncing around the body as if there was *never* a uterus shape bulging out of your body, moving all your organs in random places, hitting them. How have we not thrown them up?
I think this may be one of my favorite scishow episodes to date. I can’t believe humans thought parts of the body could just vacation where it doesn’t belong. Lol
-So what did you say you had?
-ahh nothing just wondering uterus.
I feel hysteria when I break a weight lifting PR
Is it still fun to keep breaking your own records?
Muscle Hank I challenge you in a weight lifting match
Elfman Strauss Delete your comment before Muscle Hank sees it... if you don't want to die under a barbell.
Sebastian Elytron I am a real man he can’t beat me
You are merely a man, Muscle Hank is a legend.
Hey. Something I took a class on!
This whole issue is why the term "hysterical" usually is connotative of women. Which is extremely sexist! This is also why a lot of early 1900s novels and films had women in insane asylums. Some of them argued that women were put there unfairly, others were a lot more "traditional" and made suggestions about lack of sex. It's really awful.
The history of mental illness is really interesting! If you're interested in learning more, I suggest you read: "Anxiety: A Short History," this book is really REALLY anti DSM and DSM-V, so keep that bias in mind, but they do lay out their argument, and it doesn't "hurt" the book in anyway. it's really fascinating.
Makes me sad that so many women were put in mental institutions for what was basically PMS.
FilledCircle
Interesting?
More like horrific, and considering our level of knowledge and ability to actually treat mental illness compared to back then(when they knew absolutely nothing) it's even worse today.
😏mfw this thread
my great grandmother was institutionalized and lobotomized for post partum depression. it took a toll on her family and left her kids with permanent trauma, all because people didn’t know how to diagnose and treat depression and she was encouraged to keep having more kids. thank god we have birth control nowadays
Yes in some ways the concept of hysteria can be explained as men not understanding women. Like a wife discovering her husband’s infidelities and him saying “doctor, there’s something wrong with her, she keeps screaming and crying and she tried to hit me, we need to institutionalise her”
If you are real man then you should be able to keep your uterus in place
Elfman Strauss you got my upvote
The uterus "wandering" around your body and causing pain and medical problems is not that far fetched an idea especially for thousands of years ago considering the very real issue of endometriosis where the endometrium(lining of your uterus) can travel and form outside your womb (endometriosis has been found in every organ and anatomical structure in the body except the spleen) this tissue , wherever it is on the body is triggered to then shed and bleed like the rest of the endometrium every month causing extreme pain and problems for some women. jus sayin
Maya Ballentine Yes I have the condition and it's very painful and uncomfortable.
LOL I agree that it seems silly to believe that, but when you meet a hard core flat Earth theorist, you begin to understand. . . LOL
Desire Ayer
I don't think the ones that came up with that believed the Earth was flat. Even they weren't that stupid.
I’m not an idiot. You’re just jealous of how morrer superiorer we are. Jack has predicted that Scientists will agree that the Earth is flat in about 30 years. Just wait kiddo.
Punisher ML Where’s your proof that it’s round?
Raul Carhuayano who is this, "Jack" that you refer to? Someone living by a single name, perhaps they consider themselves a celebrity of sorts, "like Madonna."
Alternatively, perhaps this is a cult personality of which you refer, some, "flat earth Messiah," someone with whom you are so enthralled that you believe that everyone would instantly know precisely of whom you speak simply by mentioning a single name?
Punisher ML flatearthsociety.com/thisisalegitsite/randomnumberstomakeitseemreal23597038
Having sex regularly actually helps reducing depression and anxiety so they were kind of right about the solution
Yeah thats what I thought.
Decades ago, I took a course in abnormal psychology, and the psychology professor lectured about this in a part of a presentation she gave on prevailing zeitgeists of the past. She also told us they would use smoldering dung to keep a woman’s uterus from wandering.
Boy, you guys really danced around the whole "systemic sexism" part of hysteria huh
I think the channel is scishow not politishow
@@L30N4tER what is personal is political. healthcare is of course affected by systemic sexism as it is centered around a society, just like education, housing, justice system, etc. etc.
if you are going to talk about a medical phenomenon/problem, the context is also relevant (especially so in some cases such as these). a good analysis can place the problem in a particular time, place, and sociopolitical context. i still found the video educational but i totally agree with Hotel July lmfao
Did they? I feel like he offered historical context for the explanations. How or what should they have said in addition ?
Wow! You people always have the best content
'Your uterus is wandering around inside your body, you should get married and have babies about it' - a definitely qualified doctor.
Considering how I saw a comment on it, do you guys think you could do a video on Endometriosis?
As a long time viewer of your videos, you all made it so someone whose illness makes doing anything a dream can still learn & fall back in love with knowledge. Thank you.
People that have the chronic illness don't have many allies because its either ignored, brushed aside 'cos it doesn't exist, and to have you all look into it will allow more people to be aware of this debilitating illness.
((Everyone is having a good laugh over the Wandering Uterus, but... Endo is basically that, but its the lining of the uterus that throughout the body.))
hysteria, the funniest thing i ever learned in college (it was even better because my professor was a woman with a Phd in sexual psychology, plus her amazing sense of humor)
Thank you so much for breaking down so clearly..brilliant job

I think I have a problem. I saw this video pop up in my feed and grew so hysterical about watching. I hit watch video so hard my mouse exploded.
Love 💗 this channel
"Ladies I present to thee..."

[Loud applause]
The animation of the uterus floating around cracked me up 😂
They 100% could have figured something out over those hundreds of years, but they didn't bother because it was easier to just blame everything on the patients being women than actually assess them as complex human beings. The entire concept of hysteria was basically sexism at its finest, and I'm kind of disappointed that sexism wasn't mentioned once in this video.
Yeah, because you know, uteri (never thought I would would feel the need to use the plural of uterus. What a strange world).
I've only watched half of this so far, but it's really amazing to learn about just how much trouble my uterus has been causing me!
Sameeee
As I was looking up on google what Smelling salts are made of with the video playing in another tab, you answered the question Love your work!
Seriously if the uterus can wander around inside why not the lungs or heart? Good god the bs we used to think!!
Elani Aniyvwia Cause there's probably no reason* to go "looking for" any of the other organs?.. just my guess at the path of the curious and unintended physical results, including misguided assumptions of the ill-informed that may have resulted in certain decisions to, "go to the doctor", or "administer treatment". Telling Signs of a clear Polar cultural development of the Male and Female mind. Still troubling to think such smart* people could be so out of tune with themselves, or just rreaally needed an excuse. 👀

Oh man, when he said wandering uterus! I got a good chuckle out of that. Humans were crazy!
Sorry, I can't come in work today, I've got an uterus in my throat.
Would have been awesome if the history of hysteria involved hispanic histrionics.
Some still believe it’s the fault of the uterus if you have “emotional problems” (my parents for example). I just got a hysterectomy and my dad said: “maybe you’ll be relieved of some of your emotional issues now...”
😂😂😂 my whole life they had me believing that my depression or moodiness was because of my periods! 😂😂😂. Yea, the notion still exists...
Thank you, very helpful
Wooo congrats on trending!
Wandering uterus is kind of real though. I have endometriosis wherein uterine cells wander around the body, form cysts, and cause problems. I have old timey hysteria 😂
I think i might have endo but i dont know. All i know is my period pain hurts like hell.
@@TiffanyRay definitely see a gynocologist! It shouldn't be agonizing! You may have endomedtriosis, PCOS, or something else going on. Amd advocate for yourself, sometimes doctors will try to dismiss you! Don't let them!
Corona virus is new hysteria ..lol

I wonder how many women viewers are just laughing their asses off at this.

I wonder how many women viewers are going to turn on their vibrators to relieve their hysteria after watching.

psh everyone still blames the uterus
Conversion disorder was itself actually replaced in the latest DSM with "functional neurological symptom disorder" of which conversion disorder is now considered just a subset where you "convert" stress into physical symptoms. As for the rest of the functional neurological symptom disorder cases, science has as much a clue as they did in ancient Egypt.

Mostly Your biological clock not being in sync with the time zone of your travel destination.
Araanor so how exactly dose that make you sleepy?
Ok, so it's 8AM in Japan right now, but it's 7PM on the East coast of America. Now say I fly overseas, my sleep schedule will obviously be messed up. Let's say I fly to America, I'm going to fly right after I've slept the night, so I'm going to be awake on the flight, but when I get to America, it will be morning already. So my body will think it's night time now, but it's actually morning where I really am, so I have to stay awake. And even if I sleep through the day, I just delay the problem for tomorrow, because then I'm going to want to be awake through the night again. It takes a while for your body to get used to big time changes.
ok that makes sense thank you both for this lesson keep being awesome and freindly!
James Gamor Also, this effect generally only happens if you fly West. Eastwards the effect is because you have had to get up earlier than normal.

Hello, Neon!

Oh come on!!! Why wasn’t this uploaded a lot earlier! I was doing a research paper about this.
Coronavirus mass hysteria brought me here
What is the basis for Borderline Personality Disorder?
UnitZER0 I've been diagnosed with BPD. Do you mean the causes or symptoms?
Causes are typically environmental factors like abuse and trauma as well as genetic factors linked to depression.
The best way I can explain it to people is by equating it to have depression, anxiety, rapid bipolar, dissociation, and ptsd, as well as behavioral issues in an attempt to adapt and not be hurt.
Sabrina Black Ouch! That must be quite a handful to deal with. Thank you for the clear explanation, it sound an awful lot like something a friend of mine may be dealing with.
UnitZER0 Hopefully they get the proper diagnosis from a doctor to help them. It's a very difficult disorder and has been equated to be the physical equivalent of "3rd degree burns all over your body", in the words of one psychiatrist that specializes in BPD. Glad I can help.
It's interesting to me that I wasn't the only one who thought about BPD in relation to Hysteria.
BPD was, until pretty recently, considered a "feminine" disorder - not because it wasn't about as common in men, but because behaviors that are considered an implication of a pathology in women, were dismissed as kinda normal in men.
[Manipulative behavior, anger, difficulty dealing with rejection and adandonment, difficulty maintaining relationships, recklessness...]
Lol at "science" back then.
Now _that_ is a nicely ironed shirt, Hank!
good info
I thought hysteria was like when a bunch of people can't stop laughing or dancing. Some even say the salem witch trials was mass hysteria
Hysteria generally means to be "worked up" so stressed, anxious, panicked, angered, it can be various things but the common denominator is that people who are hysterical have diminished judgement, they can be irrational, illogical, even frenzied.
That's what makes it a sort of umbrella term where simply saying "worked up" fits best. People who get worked up in groups can form lynch mobs- as folk saw at the Salem trials, people who get worked up alone can have panic attacks or even nervous breakdowns if stress gets on top of them. In the context of the video they were using hysteria to describe sexual frustration in people who were ignoring their natural urges to do ..er.. well what teens do when they are alone. Pretty much.
In those days the church would tell folk that it is a sin to touch yourself and since men orgasm much easier than women during sex it meant some wives had no release at all, forever, so eventually in their late 30's or so they would start going slowly mad with sexual urges. Religion once again trying to decide what is or isn't natural and once again causing tremendous damage in the process.
We Brits have a saying (or we should) and it's "If life get too much, just have a wank"
Those poor witches were probably just suffering from 'wandering uterus.'
Oh, calm down now. No need to get hysterical. You're just Ovary-acting.
I didn't know whether to laugh or facepalm for the entirety of the video
YUP NICE ..... VIDEO ...! I LIKE IT ..... GO FOR MORE ....
If wasn't for that nonsense, we wouldn't have vibrators.
Who needs boyfriends when vibrators and toys exist?
Tokuijin well, romance is nice, and a good partner in bed can make things even better, but yeah we're a lot better now that everyone can manage their own libedos without help.
Being horny tends to make for a rather bad reason for a relationship (and let's face it, a lot of guys are terrible in bed anyway).
!!!PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE REPLYING!!! Thank you in advance!!
I feel like there are two sides to the viewers here:
"Oh, it was because medical field wasn't as advanced as it is now!"
And,
"This is why we need feminism!"
So, I'm interested in hearing who's on what side, and why. Before the replies start coming in, I'd like to say this:
No red herrings. No harassment.
And,
Yes to valid reasons based on facts-- not opinions. Yes to being nice and understanding.
rainbowbutterflyfan I feel like the obvious answer is both.
whispree Griff ooh a mix! Even more interesting! Why do you think it's both?
Yes it is definitely both. They needed feminism then so crazy thoughts like wandering uterus wouldn't be taken seriously and the female body could actually be understood and we need it now because some peeps still don't believe in the female orgasm, or that periods suck, or that birth control is super useful, etc. we need to keep progressing, as we always have.
Whatwhat3434 first off, wonderful explanation! Secondly, I'd love to hear your reasoning for also believing the other option! :D
And thirdly, I wasn't asking about orgasms, periods, etc. Please do not bring any red herrings into play
Also your ending statement was fantastic! :D
Ive had PCOS for 10 years and only found out last year in november after the constant nausea, pain, fainting spells, etc became too much and they agreed to to an intravaginal ultrasound. They offered me no treatment and said "take ibuprofren" like I haven't been doing that already. I CAN'T lose weight as I'm 89lb, I can't be put on diabetic meds bc I'm not diabetic and the side effects, I can't be put on HRT because of the side effects, and a bilateral oophorectomy would send me into menopause, needing HRT to lessen it. Pretty much ALL of these options suck, and so does the constant pain from PCOS. It all sucks! Medical tools and practices without anesthesia for women haven't changed for centuries. Women are completely neglected medically, and it shows with even just the lack of studies on treatments and the constant lack of giving us information about our bodies.
Wandering uterus has made my day lol
