Can patients with intestinal polyps take Heishunpian (Black顺片)?

Whether patients with intestinal polyps can take Heishunpian (Black顺片) needs to be determined based on the individual patient's specific condition. If the intestinal polyps are related to factors such as spleen-kidney yang deficiency and internal retention of phlegm-dampness, and the condition is relatively mild, patients may take it under a doctor's guidance. However, if the patient's condition is severe, taking Heishunpian is not recommended. Specific analysis is as follows:

If patients with intestinal polyps do not have other contraindications, such as spleen-stomach cold deficiency or dyspepsia, and it is confirmed under the guidance of a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) physician that Heishunpian is suitable for regulating their constitution or for adjunctive treatment, then taking an appropriate amount of Heishunpian may be safe. Heishunpian has the effect of warming the middle-jiao to dispel cold and activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis, and may have certain adjunctive therapeutic benefits for intestinal polyps caused by spleen-kidney yang deficiency and internal retention of phlegm-dampness.

However, if the intestinal polyps are severe or the doctor recommends surgical treatment, relying solely on traditional Chinese medicines such as Heishunpian for treatment may not achieve effective results. At this time, it is important to follow medical advice and promptly undergo surgical removal of the polyps. Avoid self-medicating blindly with Heishunpian to ensure its efficacy and safety.

During treatment, patients with intestinal polyps should maintain good dietary habits and avoid consuming overly greasy, spicy, or hard-to-digest foods, which can help reduce gastrointestinal irritation and promote recovery.
