病之状，阴核肿大，有时小歇，歇时终大于常。劳冷阴雨便发，发则胀大，使人
腰背挛急，身体恶寒，骨节沉重。此病由于损肾也。足少阴之经，肾之脉也，其气下通于阴
；阴，宗脉之所聚，积阴之气也。劳伤举重，伤于少阴之经，其气下冲于阴，气胀不通，故
成疾也。其汤熨针石，别有正方，补养宣导，今附于后。
《养生方·导引法》云∶正偃卧，直两手、两足，念胞所在，令赤如油囊裹丹。除阴下
湿、小便难、 、少腹重不便。腹中热，但口纳气，鼻出之，数十，不须小咽气。即腹
中有热者，七息已温热，咽之十数。
诸痔者，谓牡痔、牝痔、脉痔、肠痔、血痔也。其形证各条如后章。又有酒痔，肛边生
疮，亦有血出。又有气痔，大便难而血出，肛亦出外，良久不肯入。
诸痔皆由伤风，房室不慎，醉饱合阴阳，致劳扰血气，而经脉流溢，渗漏肠间，冲发下
部。有一方而治之者，名为诸痔，非为诸病共成一痔。痔久不瘥，变为 了。其汤熨针石，
别有正方，补养宣导，今附于后。
《养生方》云∶忍大便不出，久作气痔。
《养生方·导引法》云∶一足踏地，一足屈膝，两手抱犊鼻下，急挽向身，极势。左右
换易四七。去痔、五劳、三里气不下。
又云∶踞坐，合两膝，张两足，不息两通。治五痔。
又云∶两手抱足，头不动，足向口面受气，众节气散，来去三七。欲得捉足，左右侧身
，各各急挽，腰不动。去四肢、腰上下髓内冷，血脉冷，筋急闷，痔。
又云∶两足相踏，向阴端急蹙，将两手捧膝头，两向极势，捺之，二七竟；身侧两向取
势，二七；前后努腰七。去心劳、痔病。
疾病的症状表现为阴囊（或外阴部）肿大，有时会有暂时缓解的时候，但缓解后最终仍比正常状态大。劳累、受寒或阴雨天气时容易发作，发作时肿胀增大，使人腰背部拘挛紧急，身体怕冷，骨节沉重。这种病是由于肾脏受损所致。足少阴经是肾的经脉，其气向下通达于阴部；阴部是众多经脉汇聚之处，积聚着阴气。因劳累、举重等损伤了足少阴经，导致经气下冲至阴部，气机胀满不通，从而形成疾病。关于汤药热敷、针刺砭石的治疗，另有专门的方剂，补益调养和导引功法，现附在后面。
《养生方·导引法》说：正身仰卧，伸直双手和双脚，意念集中于胞宫所在部位，想象那里像赤色油脂包裹着丹砂一样红润。此法可去除阴部下湿、小便困难、脱肛、少腹部沉重不便等症状。若腹中发热，只需口吸气、鼻呼气，做数十次，不需要小口吞咽气息。如果腹中有热感，经过七次呼吸后感到温热，再吞咽十几次。
所谓诸痔，是指牡痔、牝痔、脉痔、肠痔、血痔这五种。它们的具体形态和证候在后面的章节中逐一列出。又有酒痔，肛门边缘生疮，也有出血现象。又有气痔，大便困难且出血，肛门也会脱出体外，很久不肯回纳。
各种痔疮都是因为感受风邪，房事不慎，醉酒后行房，导致气血劳扰，经脉血液溢出，渗漏到肠间，冲击发于下部。有一种方子可以治疗所有类型的痔，名为“诸痔”，并非指多种疾病共同形成一个痔疮。痔疮久治不愈，会转变为瘘管。关于汤药热敷、针刺砭石的治疗，另有专门的方剂，补益调养和导引功法，现附在后面。
《养生方》说：强忍大便不出，久而久之会形成气痔。
《养生方·导引法》说：一只脚踩地，另一只脚屈膝，双手抱住犊鼻穴下方，用力向身体方向牵引，达到极限姿势。左右交替做四七二十八次。可去除痔疮、五劳、三里之气不下行。
又说：蹲坐，双膝并拢，双脚张开，憋气两次。可治疗五种痔疮。
又说：双手抱住脚，头部不动，脚向口面部接受气息，使全身节气散开，来去三七二十一次。想要抓住脚，左右侧身，各自用力牵引，腰部保持不动。可去除四肢、腰上下髓内的寒冷，血脉寒冷，筋脉拘急胸闷，以及痔疮。
又说：两脚互相踩踏，向阴端用力收缩，双手捧住膝盖头，向两侧用力按压，共做二七十四次；身体向两侧取势，再做二七十四次；前后努腰七次。可去除心劳、痔疮病。
The manifestations of the disease include swelling of the yin organ (scrotum or external genitalia), which may subside temporarily at times, but ultimately remains larger than normal. It tends to flare up due to fatigue, cold exposure, or rainy weather. Upon onset, the swelling increases, causing stiffness and tightness in the lower back and body, aversion to cold, and heaviness in the bone joints. This condition arises from damage to the Kidney. The Foot-Shaoyin Meridian is the meridian of the Kidney; its Qi flows downward to the yin region. The yin region is where numerous meridians converge and accumulates Yin Qi. Fatigue and heavy lifting injure the Foot-Shaoyin Meridian, causing its Qi to rush downward to the yin area. Qi distension and obstruction result in this pathology. Treatments involving herbal decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy have separate specific formulas. Tonifying nourishment and Daoyin (guiding and pulling) exercises are attached hereafter.
The *Yangsheng Fang* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) · *Daoyin Fa* (Methods of Guiding and Pulling) states: Lie supine with arms and legs extended straight. Focus the mind on the location of the Bao Gong (Uterus/Bladder area), visualizing it as red like cinnabar wrapped in oil. This method eliminates dampness below the yin, difficult urination, prolapse of the rectum, and a sensation of heaviness and difficulty in defecation in the lower abdomen. If there is heat in the abdomen, inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose, repeating dozens of times without swallowing the Qi in small gulps. If warmth is felt in the abdomen after seven breaths, swallow the Qi ten or more times.
"Various Hemorrhoids" refer to Mu Hemorrhoids (external hemorrhoids), Pin Hemorrhoids (internal hemorrhoids), Mai Hemorrhoids (vascular hemorrhoids), Chang Hemorrhoids (intestinal hemorrhoids), and Xue Hemorrhoids (bleeding hemorrhoids). Their respective morphological signs and symptoms are detailed in the following chapter. There is also Jiu Hemorrhoid (Alcohol-induced Hemorrhoid), characterized by sores around the anus accompanied by bleeding. There is also Qi Hemorrhoid, characterized by difficult defecation with bleeding, and prolapse of the anus that fails to retract for a long time.
All types of hemorrhoids result from wind invasion, imprudent sexual activity, coitus while intoxicated and full, leading to disturbance of Blood and Qi. Overflowing blood leaks into the intestines and impacts the lower part. One formula treats all these conditions, named "Zhu Zhi" (Various Hemorrhoids Formula); it does not imply that various diseases combine to form a single hemorrhoid. If hemorrhoids persist and do not heal, they transform into fistulas. Treatments involving herbal decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy have separate specific formulas. Tonifying nourishment and Daoyin exercises are attached hereafter.
The *Yangsheng Fang* states: Forcing the retention of stool for a long time leads to Qi Hemorrhoid.
The *Yangsheng Fang* · *Daoyin Fa* states: Stand with one foot flat on the ground and the other knee bent. Embrace the area below Dubi (ST35) with both hands, pull forcefully towards the body to the extreme limit. Alternate left and right, performing 4x7 (28) repetitions. This eliminates hemorrhoids, Wu Lao (Five Exhausions), and stagnation of Qi at Sanli (ST36).
It further states: Sit in a squatting position with knees together and feet spread apart. Hold the breath twice. This treats the Five Hemorrhoids.
It further states: Embrace the feet with both hands, keeping the head still. Direct the feet toward the mouth and face to receive Qi, allowing the Qi of the joints to disperse, moving back and forth for 3x7 (21) cycles. To grasp the feet, turn the body sideways to the left and right, pulling forcefully each time, while keeping the waist immobile. This eliminates cold in the marrow of the limbs and upper/lower waist, cold in the blood vessels, stiffness and oppression of the sinews, and hemorrhoids.
It further states: Place the two feet against each other, contracting forcefully towards the yin end. Cup the knees with both hands and press outward to the extreme limit, completing 2x7 (14) cycles. Take postures leaning to the sides, left and right, completing another 2x7 (14) cycles. Push the waist forward and backward seven times. This eliminates Xin Lao (Heart Exhaustion) and hemorrhoidal diseases.
