External hemorrhoid

witness: unnamed

Symptom: external hemorrhoid

Acupuncture for the treatment of external hemorrhoid. A personal experience on the huge difference between Western operation and Chinese acupuncture 

I have to travel a lot because of my work, therefore my rest day is often changed.  After I came back from my business trip last time, I found my internal hemorrhoids have become serious external hemorrhoids which caused me difficulty in sitting and reclining. I was quite confused about the problem which even affected my work and life. Therefore, I went to a surgical department, the doctor of which diagnosed it as external hemorrhoids and advised me to undergo ligation operation immediately. Unexpectedly, I got a second mole in the area to be ligated. In the same afternoon, another doctor was invited to do the operation. After the treatment, the doctor asked about my rest day. I couldn’t do another operation immediately, for I had just used one. So I had to take medicine and was seriously in pain for 2 weeks after the operation. In such a situation, I found Doctor Wen’s website. After learning about the symptoms, he arranged scalp and abdomen acupuncture treatment. Aside from this, he also prescribed Chinese medicine to be taken twice a week, together with suggesting hip bath and lifting anus. I found my condition improved quickly and completely recovered in 1-2 weeks. So far, I don’t have anymore external hemorrhoids. Though I was assigned to go on a business trip, the one-time acupuncture treatment had obvious effects. Thanks Doctor Wen for giving me a new and fantastic experience in acupuncture.
