Do eunuchs cut eggs or chickens? Where to cut when castrating?
Most eunuchs have their lower bodies cut off, and of course some have only their scrotum and testicles cut off. We mainly talk about the first one, that is, the one with the lower part cut off. First of all, many eunuchs entered the palace voluntarily, mainly because their families were too poor to survive. Of course, some of them are slaves. Slaves have no power and are forced to become eunuchs.
A few days before the eunuch was castrated, he could not eat or drink water. This is to ensure that their bodies can be completely emptied. Then, strictly speaking, they will tie the castrated person to a chair. First, they will apply some anesthetic to the lower body (which was not available before the Three Kingdoms), then cut off all parts of the lower body directly with a knife, and then stop the bleeding. The so-called hemostasis is also very simple, it is a kind of wood ash. And then disinfected. Inserting a stick into the urethra after disinfection can prevent the urethra from healing and prevent urine treatment. Finally, I will rest in the silkworm house for about 100 days. The so-called silkworm room refers to a room without light and ventilation, in order to prevent eunuchs from dying of wound infection. This is where the eunuch was cut and the whole process of castration.
In addition to this method, there is another way to destroy the testicles. There are many ways to destroy the testicles. What is said here is to crush the testicles directly, which is very painful to imagine. Although this method can completely avoid artificial insemination, some people still have sexual ability and are stronger than normal people, so they can still have fornication in the harem, so the first castration method was chosen most of the time in ancient times.
Seeing this, a friend may ask in a few minutes. Since the eunuch is to prevent adultery with the concubine, isn't it ok to not have a man? Aren't there many maids in ancient times? In fact, this is not possible, because some working maids are incompetent. After all, women are mostly weaker than men. Because of this, the eunuch, a very inhuman court servant, appeared.
