How to treat hemorrhoids in ancient China?

Hemorrhoidal amputation is also an important achievement in China's ancient surgical practice, and the pre-Qin medical writings "52 Diseases" unearthed from the Mawangdui No. 3 Han Tomb in Hunan Province in 1973 mentioned the surgical treatment of hemorrhoids. It divided hemorrhoids into "female hemorrhoids", "male hemorrhoids", "blood hemorrhoids" and other types, suggesting that the hemorrhoids could be ligated with a small rope and then cut off with a knife. Hanging thread therapy and withered hemorrhoid therapy for treating hemorrhoids are also treatment methods unique to traditional medicine in China. Chen Shikong's "Surgical Authenticity" records that: Hanging thread method is mainly with one or two coriander boiled fine silk thread, set in the root of the hemorrhoids, knotted into a live buckle, day by day to tighten the live buckle, until the affected area turns purple and black necrosis, light 7 days, heavy 15 days, hemorrhoids from the root of the natural wither. Withered hemorrhoids method is to use "withered hemorrhoids San" (its main ingredient is arsenic), every day in the hemorrhoids coated 2-3 times, about 7 days later, hemorrhoids gradually become withered and black, dry and hard, do not need to continue to apply the drug, and so on, and so that it naturally withered and fall off. This method because there is no need to open the knife, painless, simple and easy to implement, improved, now still in use.
