Hemorrhoid generally refers to a prolapsed nodule in the anus, and major symptoms are swelling, bleeding, pain. itching, and rectal discharge. For severe conditions, that is stage ¥² & ¥³, hemorrhoidectomy is commonly performed by surgeons. Yet, many patients are afraid of postoperative recurrence, and complications such as pain, wound bleeding, urinary retention, and dyschezia are not avoidable. We treated two patients with Stage ¥± and ¥². and both of the cases were diagnosed as the hemorrhoid due to "moist and heat of the large intestine". After a couple of times of treatment only with SaAhm acupuncture, the symptoms were improved to the degrees where no discomfort could be found in the daily living.
