Abstract
Background/Aim: Etiology, pathogenesis, prognosis, clinical approach and treatment of hemorrhoidal disease, which are presented in this article in viewpoint of medieval Persian medicine, are largely different from modern medicine. Although surgery was indicated for some cases, Pharmacologic therapy for hemorrhoidal disease is more extent and varied. This study expands our cognition about some aspects of hemorrhoids and helps us to find new pharmacologic and natural management for hemorrhoidal disease.
Materials and methods: the main valid references of Iranian traditional medicine from 6th to 16th century AD were reviewed. Important points of Iranian physician’s opinion about most aspects of hemorrhoidal disease were noted and then classified. Traditional terminology was interpreted according to traditional medicine dictionaries and text description, staff consultation and analogical study in modern medicine. Results: according to ITM, hemorrhoidal disease mostly has a biochemical nature in pathogenesis. Ten strategic managements were suggested that most of them are medical. Many of these therapies can be evaluated in researches and help us to find new medical therapies for hemorrhoidal disease.
