In oriental medicine, 'chi(öÀ)' is 'the prolapsed nodule' in 'Ku-gyu(ÎúЫ)', but in this paper, I will write about prolapsed nodule only in anus or around it, chi-jil(öÀòð), it called hemorrhoid in western medicine. So in the literatual studies on chi(öÀ) in anus or around it, the results are as follows. 1. The etiology and pathogenesis of ch.i-jil(öÀòð) is wind, wetness, dryness, and heat caused by inrregular diet habit, severe drinking and sexual action, deficiency of ki(Ѩ) and hyeol(úì). 2. Characteristic symptoms of chi-jil(öÀòð) is the prolapsed nodule in the anus or around it, and general symptoms are hematochezia, pain, hernia, swelling, abcess, and mucosal secretion. 3. Chi-jil(öÀòð) is classified eight types by characteristic symptom, shape, etiology and pathogenesis. They are mac-chi(ØæöÀ), jang-chi(íóöÀ), ki-chi(ѨöÀ), hyeol-chi(úìöÀ), joo-chi(ñÐöÀ), mo-chi(ÙÀöÀ), bin-chi(ÙÀöÀ), and loo-chi(ÒåöÀ)(or young-chi(¿µöÀ), choong-chi(õùöÀ)). Additionally, they are divided into two parts, internal and external chi-jil(öÀòð), as likely as classification of internal and external hemorrhoid in western medicine. 4. Treatment of chi-jil(öÀòð) is two methods, internal treatment and external treatment. Internal treatment is per os herb-pharmacotheraphy, external treatment is surgical or the other external pharmacotheraphy. There are several external treatment, these are fumigation-theraphy(ý·öÀÛö). irrigation-theraphy(á©öÀÛö), paint-theraphy(ÓóöÀÛö). withering-theraphy(ͽöÀÛö), bending-therphy(Ì¿óÏÛö) and incisal -theraphy(ï·ËÒÛö).
