Wang, male, 24 years old, worker, first consultation on September 18, 1994. There is a lump on the left side of the navel, as large as a shoe sole, with obvious tenderness, stuffiness and discomfort, afternoon tidal fever and night sweat. Western medicine diagnosed it as "Jiehexue peritonitis" (dry type), which was treated with anti-Jiehexue drugs but to no avail, pulse manifestation is wiry and slippery. The condition is hard and immobile, which should be classified as an accumulation syndrome. The main treatment must be to resolve and eliminate the accumulation. Observing that his constitution is still strong, initially used Sparganium, Zedoary Rhizome, Chicken's Gizzard-Skin and other drugs for several doses, but the lump did not shrink and the symptoms did not decrease. Considering that this is an old accumulation of blood, with obstruction of yin qi and blood, it cannot be treated with ordinary resolving accumulation drugs, and a drastic formula must be used to be effective. Used 25g of raw leech, ground into powder, 2.5g each time, twice a day. After taking the medicine, he felt gas moving downward in the abdomen, and the hard pain was relieved. Continued use of the previous medicine significantly reduced the hard lump, but continuous regular use of this medicine did not show significant effect. Considering that this is a case of mild medicine for severe disease, leech and gadfly must be used together to further achieve results, so the Resistant and Withstanding Pill formula was proposed. Prescription:
leech 25g gadfly 15g Peach Kernel 20g Rhubarb Rhizoma 15g
ground into powder and made into honeyed pills the size of phoenix tree seeds, take 10 grams each time. After taking the medicine, the hard lump gradually shrank. From October 16 when this medicine was taken, to November 8, the hard lump completely disappeared and he was cured.
