Venereal wart disease (Hahnemann's fig-wart disease, sycosis) is *not*
gonorrhea.
Gonorrhea is a bacterial disease, communicated by Neiseria gonorrhea, the
"gonoccoccus". Venereal wart disease is communicated by Human Papilloma
Virus, which was only identified as a discrete entity in the 1980's (tho
its viral origin was suspected much earlier).
The two obviously frequently co-occur, as they are both common communicable
venereal diseases.
Gonorrhea is a sub-acute miasm that may have a long latency and prolonged
clinical course. Venereal wart disease is a chronic miasm - a permanent
engraftment on the constitution.
Hahnemann never completed his promised anamnesis of sycosis, & his brief
description in Chronic Diseases conjoins several common venereal diseases
(likely HPV, gonorrhea, Chlamydia, etc.). Boenninghausen made a
significant contribution toward this, in his Anamnesis of Sycosis (in his
Lesser Writings). Our current "understanding" of sycosis unfortunately has
intermixed symptoms of Venereal Wart Disease and Gonorrhea within it.
Thuja is clearly a centrally-sycotic remedy, the most centrally sycotic
remedy we have in our Materia Medica. Medorrhinum is not highly concordant
with it - tho it does clearly have some sycotic aspects, it really has much
closer concordances with our Tubercular remedies.
