Patient's question:
Male, 41 years old, previously in good health, but this time there are many bumps in the anal folds.Doctor's answer:
Surgery is very prone to recurrence, as it does not remove the root cause. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which is less likely to recur. The herbal formula includes:Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 10g, Huang Bo (Coptis Rhizome) 10g, Sheng Yi Ren (Coix Seed) 30g, Tu Feng Ling (Poria) 30g, Dan Pi (Moutan Bark) 10g, Tong Cao (Commelina) 10g, Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) 10g, Ma Chi Xian (Portulaca Oleracea) 30g.
In this formula, Cang Zhu and Huang Bo clear damp-heat in the lower jiao; Sheng Yi Ren tonifies the spleen and eliminates dampness, and has antiviral properties. Combined with Tu Feng Ling, Dan Pi, Tong Cao, Ze Xie, and Ma Chi Xian, it detoxifies, eliminates dampness, promotes blood circulation, and resolves blood stasis. If damp-heat is severe, Long Dan Cao (Gentiana Root) 10g can be added; for constipation, Lu Hui (Aloe) 10g can be included.
During treatment, sexual activity must be avoided, spicy and seafood (irritating foods) should not be consumed, and personal items should be used separately from others.
