The specific words of the 400 BC treatise “On Hemorrhoids” go into great detail on exactly how to best accomplish this procedure. It states that “seven or eight” iron surgical tools with a coin sized piece on the end should be “prepared” - meaning made red hot. Then the patient should be held down with arms restrained while the hemorrhoids are literally “burned until the pile is dried up, so that no part may be left behind”. Interestingly, the work specifically encouraged the patient not to be gagged and be encouraged to yell, because yelling will “push the anus out” and make it easier to access and burn off more hemorrhoids!

Now how the person was relieving themselves during that week, or how they could possibly do it with any semblance of hygiene… is best not to think about. Especially when you consider the fact that ancient Greeks tended to use actual shards of pottery in lieu of toilet paper after going “#2”. I can think of few worse things than having to literally scrape feces off of recent burn wounds… but I guess these ancient Greeks were a different breed. Sadly, that habit of using pottery shards as tp is a major reason why hemorrhoids were so common amongst ancient Greeks.
