Hello everyone, I am Liu Xingyin, a Chinese medicine practitioner. Many people choose to have a surgical removal of an intestinal polyp when it is detected. But after cutting it off, everything will be fine, it's really not. It is believed that many patients with intestinal polyps will find that intestinal polyps have recurred when they re-examine their colonoscopy six months or a year later.
I have met many patients with intestinal polyps, such as this intestinal polyp patient who was found to have 2 intestinal polyps during a physical examination, and chose to have them surgically removed due to the large size of the polyps. However, when the patient re-examined the colonoscopy half a year later, he found that the intestinal polyps had recurred, and this time 4 intestinal polyps were detected. When he came to the clinic, the patient said that he was worried about the disease all day, could not eat, could not sleep well, and often felt abdominal pain, blood and some mucus in the stool. The patient's face is dull, the tongue has tooth marks on the dark edge, the tongue coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is thin and astringent. Combined with the patient's symptoms, physiognomy, tongue and pulse, after diagnosis, it was found that the patient had the problems of qi stagnation and blood stasis, spleen deficiency and dampness.
This patient's long-term poor mood will lead to stagnation of liver qi, and if the qi is not good, the blood cannot run smoothly, and blood stasis will form. However, patients with intestinal polyps generally have poor eating habits and prefer greasy and spicy foods, which will lead to damage to the spleen and stomach, and internal dampness. Pathological products such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, and dampness accumulate on the intestine, and intestinal polyps will be formed.
The reason why this intestinal polyp patient will be re-examined for intestinal polyps is because the problems of qi stagnation, blood stasis and dampness have not been eradicated, which will continue to promote the formation and development of intestinal polyps, and fall into a vicious circle. Therefore, in the treatment of intestinal polyps, just excision cannot be solved at one time, and if you want to cut off intestinal polyps from the root and then recur, you still need to clean up the qi stagnation and blood stasis and phlegm turbidity in the body.
Therefore, when conditioning this patient, Codonopsis ginseng was used to strengthen the spleen and stomach; Atractylodes atractylodes strengthens the spleen and dampness; Poria cocos strengthens the spleen and infiltrates dampness; peach kernel and safflower invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis; Cooked land, angelica nourishes yin and nourishes blood; peony nourishes blood and camp; Chuanxiong invigorates blood and qi, regulates qi and blood, and strengthens the operation of blood; Curcuma destroys qi and blood, and dissipates stagnation; Coptis chinensis removes intestinal heat and dampness; Moxibustion licorice invigorates qi and neutralizes various medicines. After a period of time, the patient's prescription was added or subtracted according to the symptoms, and the problems of abdominal pain and loss of appetite were solved. Follow-up colonoscopy showed no intestinal polyps.
The formation of intestinal polyps is closely related to the dysfunction of internal organs, and this problem cannot be solved by surgical excision.
