How was hemorrhoids treated in ancient times?

Modern techniques for treating hemorrhoids are all surgical resection, which is accompanied by the risk of massive bleeding, while ancient techniques for treating hemorrhoids are not inferior to modern techniques.

First of all, the ancients knew very well how to treat hemorrhoids by breaking hemorrhoids and discharging pus. Secondly, in Huangdi Neijing, it is proposed to remove hemorrhoids and tie the rope to hemorrhoids in a slipknot way, which can make hemorrhoids as short as seven days and as long as half a month and never fall off. This method is safer than without massive bleeding.

In addition, it is treated by fumigation with decoction, similar to the way we apply ointment now, and acupuncture, which is the quintessence of our country and only used by our people. Stimulating acupoints and then promoting blood circulation can alleviate the condition of hemorrhoids. At the same time, acupuncture can also relieve constipation to a greater extent and make the stool unobstructed. Through some of the above methods, we can know that our ancestors were great in medical skills, and the technology of treating hemorrhoids is not worse than the current technology.

For hemorrhoids, a common disease at present, the treatment is simple but effective. Some people think that hemorrhoids may cause cancer if they are not taken seriously. This idea is very unrealistic. Be sure to relax and cooperate with the doctor when treating. Now the surgical technique is very mature, so don't worry too much. The most important thing is to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid recurrence. This kind of pain will never happen again, so be sure to pay attention.
