Richard Geigel

Internist Richard Geigel Richard Geigel (4 June 1859 in Würzburg – 2 December 1930 in Würzburg) was a German internist.

In 1883 he received his medical doctorate from the University of Würzburg with the dissertation-thesis "''Über Variabilität in der Entwicklung der Geschlechtsorgane beim Menschen''". In 1888 he obtained his habilitation, and ten years later became an associate professor of balneology, hydrotherapy and massage at Würzburg.

His name is associated with the "Geigel reflex" (in females), being described as a contraction of the muscular fibers at the upper edge of the Poupart ligament when the inner side of the thigh is gently stroked. It corresponds to the cremasteric reflex in males. Provided by Wikipedia
