Patient's question:
On May 8, 2019, at 22:51, my father is 55 years old and suffers from hepatitis B, hemorrhoids, and prostate disease. When he went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, the doctor said that the hemorrhoid surgery was still not possible. In the past few days, my father's hemorrhoids flared up, and he heard some folk remedy from somewhere that said roasting scorpions on a stove, crushing them, and then taking them with water would cure hemorrhoids. So tonight, my father consumed 6 scorpions. He is very worried and wants to ask the doctor if there are any side effects or if he might be poisoned！（Male, 55 years old）Doctor's answer:
According to your description, scorpions are venomous and may cause poisoning. It is recommended that you closely monitor his condition for any changes. If symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea, dry vomiting, palpitations, or chest tightness reappear, seek medical attention promptly and go to the hospital for follow-up. Hemorrhoids require follow-up at a formal hospital's colorectal department and should not rely on folk remedies. Prostate conditions are prone to recurrence and require long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek treatment at a professional and formal hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Also, be mindful of restricting sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood.
