Pterygoid hymen

This is the growth of the connective membrane or membrane covering the eyeball. It usually begins in the inner corner of the eye and spreads further along the connective membrane. Sometimes the pterygoid hymen covers the cornea and overlaps it so much that it closes the optic opening. One of its types is harder, the other is softer; sometimes the pterygoid hymen is yellow, sometimes red, and sometimes dark. There is a type of pterygoid hymen, the close location of which to the connective membrane leads to adhesion. This type of hymen can be removed by gentle lifting. There is another species, the proximity of which leads to fusion. This type requires cutting.

Treatment. The best treatment is scraping with an iron, especially the soft type of pterygoid hymen. However, scraping the hard type, if done carelessly, can cause damage to the eye. When scraping the pterygoid hymen, it must be lifted with a hook, because lifting makes scraping easier. If this is not possible, then the hymen must be scraped off with a hair or silk thread passed under the hymen using a needle or the stem of a thin feather. This needs to be done in one or two places; if it turns out to be insufficient, then gentle scraping with a mild iron will be required. You need to remove as much of the pterygoid hymen as possible, but not the part of it that is on the lacrimal caruncle, because otherwise lacrimation will remain. Both of these parts are different in color. When the pterygoid hymen is cut off, cumin chewed with salt is dripped into the eye. The burning sensation is stopped with egg yolk, rose and violet oil. If you do not drip cumin, chewed with salt, then the connective membrane fuses with the eyelid. To avoid this, the patient must roll his eyes all the time. Then, after three days, sharp ointments are used to ensure that the remnants of the pterygoid hymen are completely eliminated. However, the use of drugs is of negligible value in cases of dense pterygoid hymen, especially if they are not free from causing harm to the pupil due to their severity. For it is necessary that they have a strong purifying effect and be mixed with agents that cause putrefaction.

Tested eye medicines include Tarahumatikun and both Kalkatar ointments, Caesarean ointment, acute Brsilikun ointment, Rushnai and Dinarhun, all of which are described in the Pharmacopoeia. There is also a proven remedy: take burnt copper, kalkadis, goat bile in equal parts and prepare an ointment. Or they take kalkadis, one part of Andaran salt, half a part of gum, and from this they prepare an ointment with wine; or take burnt copper, kalkand, caper root peels, ammonia, goat or ox bile with honey, or only honey with goat bile, or take magnetite, verdigris, red ocher, usshak - two parts, saffron - one for each uqiya Add one cutuli of honey to this mixture. You can also make an eye medicine from calkand and ammonia, and it is excellent.

A proven remedy for pterygoid hymen, which works almost in the same way as cutting, is this: take a shard of a glazed clay vessel, scrape off the glaze, grind it finely, mix it with pumpkin seed oil and grind it again. Then they string a piece of skin onto a knitting needle, apply this medicine to it and rub the pterygoid hymen several times a day, because this thins the hymen and it disappears. Before using these medications, the patient should bend over the steam of hot water until the eye warms up and the face turns red. Or he should go to the bathhouse. This helps with thin wing-shaped hymen. And with thick ones, grind incense, soak in hot water and leave for an hour, then filter and use as an eye medicine.
