Solid tumor of the uterus

A solid tumor is indicated by its detection by touch and the fact that at the same time there is difficulty in passing urine and feces or one of these eruptions; As for pain, it rarely appears with such a tumor until the tumor turns into cancer. If the tumor is something hidden, then the body loses weight and becomes weak, especially the legs, and the feet become swollen and the legs become thinner. Sometimes the abdomen enlarges and a condition similar to dropsy occurs, especially if the hardening spreads, and often this is what actually causes dropsy. If the hardening does not resolve, it quickly turns into a cancerous tumor. A sign that a solid tumor is cancer or has turned into cancer is the following: if the tumor is in a place where it is visible to the eye, then an irregularly shaped tumor is found, from which something like dilated veins branches off, and touching it is very painful. It is of a bad, unclean color, reddish, as if the color of wine grounds, and sometimes has a leaden or greenish tint. If the tumor is not obvious, then it is indicated by heaviness and internal pain and tingling; in this case, the pubis, ureters, ilia and groins are involved, and the pain reaches the thoraco-abdominal barrier and the spine. Sometimes there is pain in the eyes and temples and coldness of the extremities, and often the swelling is accompanied by profuse sweating. Sometimes with such a tumor there is a fever; it starts out mild and then escalates and intensifies as the pain increases. As for difficulty urinating, urine coming out in drops, as well as retention of urine and retention of feces, or retention of one without the other, this is a sign common to a solid tumor and to phlegmon. If the tumor is ulcerated, then pus appears, not smooth, with dirt, and the dirt in most cases is of a bad color, black, but sometimes it is red or green and, occasionally, white. Acrid fluids, ichor and pus flow from the tumor, green and foul-smelling. And sometimes, if the tumor is accompanied by corrosion, pure blood flows out, so that they even think that it is menstruation. Whenever something flows from the tumor, the fever subsides and the pain calms down. Sometimes a solid tumor is accompanied by signs of a hot tumor, and then there is no treatment for it.

Treatment. As for the solid tumor, it should be treated by emptying the body of the thick black gall juices and applying a plaster like diahilune and basilikun or medicines prepared from bdelium, goose fat, deer bone marrow and sheep oil and applied in the form of a wax ointment with iris oil, lily oil , narcissus oil, dill oil, chamomile oil, fenugreek oil, castor oil, henna oil and chamomile oil; They use only yellow wax for it, and sometimes they put egg yolks in it. If it is required that the ointment be stronger, beaver stream and samanjan sabur, hare rennet, “orris root”, alarm bell, chamomile, saffron, Nabataean resin and almond tree gum are added to it.

Ointments. Here is one of the tested ointments: soak caper leaves in water until they soften, and grind them with cheese and water sweetened with honey; or eat vine flowers with cheese and water sweetened with honey. Cabbage leaves and flowers, in my opinion, are suitable for this. Inserting ear mud into the vagina is said to be beneficial. The patient should be placed in water, which has the power of emollient medicines, and bandages should be made from fresh marshmallow leaves, crushed with almond tree gum and goose fat, or bandages made from marjoram, medicinal sweet clover, fenugreek, medicinal chamomile and marshmallow.

As for uterine cancer, it should be treated with soothing ointments, moisturizing the body and constantly removing blood from the basil and then, from time to time, from the jugular vein, as well as removing black bile from the bottom. The "Messenger Ointment" has a remarkable special property in this case, and it soothes the pain. If the pain intensifies, then pay attention to it and try hot and cold medicines to soothe the pain, using them simultaneously to rely on the more suitable of them, especially if the tumor is pronounced. Hot painkillers are a decoction of fenugreek and similar plants, and also a wax ointment prepared from the grounds of olive oil, left in a copper vessel so that it absorbs a little verdigris from it, and yellow wax; it is lubricated on the outside. And cold medicines are bandages made from sleeping pills poppy with coriander, black nightshade, rose oil and egg white, or from lead, crumbled by rubbing two pieces of it against each other, and coriander juice; a decoction of lentils, from which an enema is made, as well as donkey milk and plantain juice, together or separately. If bleeding occurs from an ulcerated tumor, anti-bleeding ointments are used.
