In ancient times, why did the ancients sometimes die with sores on their backs ?

With the improvement of social level, medical conditions are getting better and better, and people don't have to worry even if they get sick, because medical technology has changed with each passing day, and for some common diseases, it can be successful soon. But in ancient times, it was different, and some people even lost their precious lives because of a cold and fever. One of the most lethal is the sores on the back, so why did the ancients sometimes die when they "got sores on the back" in ancient times?

First, the medical conditions at that time were extremely poor.

In ancient times, the medical conditions were very poor, although we often have miracle doctors when we watch costume TV series, but in fact, the medical technology at that time was greatly exaggerated. At that time, if a person was sick, ordinary people could not afford to see a doctor, and the doctor's skills were very poor, and the better doctors were put in the palace.

Second, poor living conditions.

In ancient times, except for those enterprises that the children of officials and eunuchs could inherit from their ancestors for generations, for ordinary people, their greatest wish was to be able to eat enough every day, which shows the poor living conditions at that time. It is in this case that the environment in which they live is not very hygienic, so when a person is sick, the resistance and immunity are often the worst, plus the surrounding environment is dirty, then it is difficult.

Thirdly, sores on the back are an infectious disease.

Originally, it is a highly infectious disease for the back sores, which is essentially a relatively serious disease caused by ** infection, if it is not controlled in time, it is easy to invade the spine behind the human body, thus making people lose their lives. In such a situation, coupled with the fact that there were no antibiotics and other drugs in ancient times, it is undoubtedly necessary to use one's own immunity to resist this disease, so the mortality rate is very high.

It may be because the person lies flat for a long time, the blood behind the back is not smooth, and then necrosis squeezes. Then you will take a lot of medicine, and after taking too much, you will have a lot of toxins

In ancient times, the level of medical care could not reach the current level, and it was easy to get infected after sores on the back, which caused other diseases, such as inflammation, bacteria, etc., and increased the mortality rate.

In ancient times, sometimes the ancients would die if they had sores on their backs, because the ancient medical skills were not developed enough to solve these problems, so they could only make the disease more serious.

Because people with this kind of sores are now seen as a kind of gangrene in medicine, this kind of bureau will cause internal organ infection and cause high fever, in ancient times, when high fever did not go away, no anti-inflammatory drugs are a dangerous disease.

If you don't use antibiotics, even if you have a big back sore on your back now, you will either die or be disabled.

Hitch back sores are hitch sores also known as 'carbuncle sores', which are divided into male and female, and grow on people's backs, hence the name hitch back sores. The male single head is in the middle, and the female is surrounded by multiple heads, and the boils are large and deep, and the harm is great.

Generally, if a geometric wound is formed, it is naturally that the strain is deeply planted. Therefore, relying on ancient decoctions, the so-called swelling, stasis, and analgesia. In fact, the reproduction of germs cannot be controlled at all, and eventually the strain enters the spinal cord, resulting in systemic sepsis, and the person is in pain and will definitely die.

Therefore, if the ancients had this sore, the possibility of ** was very small.

The most famous one in ancient history who suffered from carbuncles, that is, back sores, was Xiang Yu's father Fan Zeng, and the other was Xu Da, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.

One of the most famous is that the ancients believed that people who suffered from carbuncles should not eat steamed goose. Because goose meat seems to be a hair product, when the sores are swollen and painful, eating goose meat is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

So there is a section in the wild history where Zhu Yuanzhang gave the steamed goose to Xu Da, but that is the wild history after all.

Back sores still exist, but people's living standards, sanitary conditions, and medical facilities are better than those of the ancients. Therefore, the prevalence of this disease is lower than that of the ancients, even if you suffer from this disease in time, use the corresponding antibiotics after the bacterial culture susceptibility test to kill the bacteria in time and inhibit the growth of the strain, which is basically not too harmful.

The reason why the hitch sores are dangerous is that the part of the disease, the human spine, and the cross nerve are dense. Therefore, some lesions are deep, and even if they save their lives, they eventually become hunchbacks and paralyzed.

So do you still think that it is still an incredible thing that the ancients would die if they had a sore on their back?

In the era when there were no antibiotics, once the wound became infected, it was a fatal thing, so back sores should not be taken lightly.

In fact, in ancient times, people who lost their lives because of sores on their backs, many of them were elderly people with limited mobility, and the probability of losing their lives because of sores was very rare for young people with strong physical strength.

In ancient times, the sores on the back are called carbuncles in modern times, carbuncles are generally very common in the elderly with low immunity, many elderly people will lose the balance of the body's system because of diabetes, and therefore are found by bacteria outside the body to take advantage of the opportunity to invade the body.

The area of this carbuncle covers a very large area, sometimes the small half of the back will be covered by a carbuncle, and the feeling of the carbuncle is relatively hard, because the long-term bulge will appear a little keratinized, and hardness is inevitable.

There will be a lot of pus on the back after a person has a carbuncle, and it is very inconvenient to live and rest, and it will be very painful when lying down, in addition to the pain in the back, the carbuncle affects the whole body.

The elderly will be affected by many effects after having carbuncles on their backs, such as frequent dizziness, thirst, nausea, fear of cold and heat, and often uncontrolled vomiting after eating, and in severe cases, it will lead to confusion and coughing. In ancient times, ice cubes are a very scarce thing, if you suffer from carbuncle in summer, although hot water also has a certain effect, but you think about it in that hot dog day, there is no air conditioning, no fan, and from time to time with a plate of hot water on the back, this kind of heat is unbearable for many old people, so the mortality rate of the elderly suffering from carbuncle in ancient times is unimaginable for us modern people.

Because the medical conditions in ancient times were so poor and the medical means were extremely limited, the disease of "sores" was extremely easy to infect, and in ancient times, "infection" was not far from death. In ancient times, although there were famous doctors such as Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao, their medical skills were very limited and difficult to promote on a large scale; Second, even if they do, it is difficult to clean up the virus in their bodies ......

First of all, let's talk about infection. Infection is a very demanding thing for the environment. Of course, it doesn't mean that if you want to be infected, you have to have a strict environment, but if you want not to be infected, you need a very clean environment.

This "clean environment" does not simply mean cleaning the house and washing the hands.

Modern people know that germs and bacteria are invisible to the naked eye, and a sneeze has no effect on the environment at all, but germs and bacteria can spread into the environment in this way, and then pose a threat to other human bodies.

To put it simply, "clean environment" means disinfecting the wound area. But what were the disinfection methods in ancient times? Wash and bake the tools on the fire, but they're gone.

The effect of cleaning the wound with water is not much use for disinfection at all, and the fire roasting is a bit useful, but the fire used in ancient times is ......

Secondly, sores on the body means that the injury and illness are in the body. Diseases in the body were a great challenge for the ancients. First, in ancient times, there was the constraint of "parents who are subject to the hair and skin of the body", and many people were not allowed to go under the knife on the body; Second, there was no way to use the knife, so I could only simply puncture the pustule and let the pus flow out.

However, if the pus comes out and is not treated properly, it means that the scope of the infection is ......

Generally speaking, the ancients would die if they had a sore on their back, which intuitively reflected how poor the medical environment was in ancient times. This is the limitation of the times, and the ancients wanted to solve it, but there was no way.

Because of the low level of medical conditions at that time, it was not possible to effectively treat back sores**. We all know that many ancient famous men and fierce generals often died of a strange disease, which is the so-called "back sores", according to historical records, there are hundreds of famous historical figures who died of back sores. It stands to reason that in our modern times, this is far from being a serious disease, so why did it become an "incurable disease" in ancient times?

This is not without reason.

Most of the deeds of famous doctors in ancient times are fictional, and in real history, the average life expectancy in ancient times was extremely low, and "back sores" were just one of many incurable diseases. We may all learn about the miracle doctor in Chinese history who rejuvenated and could live the flesh and bones of the dead through history textbooks, or film and television dramas, such as: Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Bian Que, and so on.

In fact, these ancient famous doctors, we only need to check the historical materials at that time to know how nonsense and fantasy their deeds are. Let's take Hua Tuo, the most famous, as an exampleOpen the "Biography of Hua Tuo in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty", we can see a lot of ridiculous records: someone has diarrhea and retching, Hua Tuo prescribes a pair of medicine, this person spit out more than ten green snakes, it turned out that he was not paying attention to sleeping, and the snake crawled into the stomach and reproduced in it for several years; Someone had itchy arms, Hua Tuo fed him to take hemp boiling, operated on the affected area, cut open the arm, and a few sparrows flew out.

Do you really believe that such a "miracle doctor" exists?

In ancient times, the level of medical care was extremely low, and it is completely reasonable that back sores were fatal. After destroying the myths of those famous doctors, we can analyze the reasons why we can't ** back sores in ancient times. In fact, the disease of back sores, in modern times, is very simple, it is a kind of "** infection", mainly bacterial infection, and the ancient sanitary conditions were low, and bacteria under favorable conditions will continue to breed and destroy human tissues.

Living in the 21st century, we are naturally not afraid of antibiotics with the blessing of antibiotics; But in ancient times, it was very deadly.

To sum up, back sores were fatal due to embarrassing medical conditions, which were very plausible in ancient times.

In ancient times, people would die because of sores on their backs, probably because of these common reasonsIt is because the person lies flat for a long time, the blood behind the back is not smooth, and then necrosis squeezes. There is also because people in ancient times wanted the elixir of life, and then they ate all kinds of pills indiscriminately, and after taking it for a long time, a lot of toxins would accumulate in the body.

In fact, the sores on the back of ancient people were bedsores. It is because the person lies flat for a long time, the blood behind the back is not smooth, and then necrosis squeezes. It turned into a sore right in the back.

In ancient times, it was natural for young people to exercise and sweat. However, in ancient times, it was the elderly who generally got this disease. In ancient times, people were busy earning money to support their families, and no one would take time out of their way to take care of the elderly, and such a thing would not happen to the families of rich people and eunuchs.

Because of the long time, it will cause sepsis and sepsis, and it will also endanger people's lives.

There is also a kind of because people in ancient times wanted the elixir, and then they ate all kinds of pills indiscriminately, after taking it for a long time, the body will accumulate a lot of toxins, and as a result, some toxins will erupt from the back of the person, forming a pimple, the ancient people called this situation back, the more the toxins behind it accumulate, the more it can not be cured in the end, and it will pass away after a long time. The reason why people in ancient times did not have one is mainly because of the lack of antibiotics in ancient times, and the ancient surgery was not developed, and it was difficult to achieve the effect of no bacteria.

In ancient times, people did not have Western medicine such as antibiotics at all, and they had pus pockets on their backs, so they could only rely on Chinese medicine to recuperate. For those who are bedridden, it is not very effective, plus they are sick in bed, and there is no special person to take care of them, so the possibility of bedsores in ancient times has greatly increased. In ancient times, there were not many cotton clothes, and they were generally linen, which could easily wear out abscesses.

If it is worn out, it will cause infection of the wound, and in ancient times, there were almost no drugs such as **infection. This is a bit difficult for ancient doctors, they can't cure such a disease at all, naturally they can only take some Chinese medicine to slowly recuperate, and the patient can only resign himself to fate.

Why did the ancients sometimes die "with a sore on their back"?

The pronunciation of the word "sore" is pronounced as chuāng. This word originally referred to the lump on the **, and it was also used to refer to the disease that caused the ulceration of the ** for various reasons, yes, it was the pustule. The high mortality rate of large sores in ancient life is related to the ignorance of a biological concept - microorganisms.

In ancient times, there was no systematic surgery, and there was no concept of sterility. In surgical infection, a very important means is to incorporate and drain, fully incision, drain the pus, and then use sterile gauze to fill the gamponade, and change the dressing frequently, so that the infection can be slowly controlled. Ancient doctors did not know aseptic, disinfection, debridement, or incision and drainage, which would increase the mortality rate of boils or carbuncles.
