Withered Hemorrhoid
Updated 2026-08-02
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
A classical Chinese medicine external technique in proctology in which a medicated paste or a hemorrhoid nail containing corrosive agents such as arsenic is applied to or inserted into the hemorrhoid. The tissue loses its blood supply, necroses, and sloughs away, leaving a healed base. The key constraint is operator control: the method depends on correct indications, precise placement, and strict asepsis, and uncontrolled self-application risks infection and severe bleeding.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Chemical ligation lens: cut off the supply line so the target withers instead of cutting it out. - Tool-selection check: ask whether strangulation, corrosion, or excision best fits the tissue. - Shedding model: let dead tissue detach on its own rather than forcing removal.
Anchor fast decisions
The corrosive agent or medicated cord destroys the hemorrhoid's blood supply and tissue, so it shrinks, necroses, and separates like a dead leaf while the tissue beneath heals. The mechanism is controlled starvation rather than cutting, which is why the outcome depends heavily on how precisely the agent is confined to the target tissue.
