This is because “jedi-jedi” is not an actual specific disease but a rough, local combination of several symptoms from different diseases!

It is a combination of symptoms like dysentery, weak erection, back ache, itchy anus (and genital area), poor sexual performance, vaginal infection, etc. In fact, any symptom can be included in the list for jedi-jedi!

Truth is there is no medical disease with such combination of symptoms.

And pile (or hemorrhoids) which is commonly used as an English substitute is very far from resembling jedi-Jedi.

Pile is when your anus starts protruding and coming out. And that is not even typically in the list of symptoms for Jedi-Jedi! And not caused by eating sugar or sweet things.

So, instead of saying “I have jedi-Jedi“, go and see a doctor! He will do some tests and tell you the actually disease you have. And then treat that disease!

And don’t go taking all sorts of concoctions! This is because of the several serious medical problems the use of some of these traditional interventions causes. I see them regularly, especially, in my rural medical practice during my NYSC service year.

There is actually no accurate English medical word for Jedi-Jedi. No disease with all those symptoms!

Little or no researches have been done on many of these concoctions. We hardly know what they contain, and the exact amount of the constituents. Are there some harmful substances? You can’t tell.

Some chemical substances in plants become poisons if a certain amount is given without considering the size, age, and condition of the patients. You hardly consider these.

How are we sure you are not taking a lethal dose or dangerous amount that will eventually accumulate in the body, over-powering your liver, or shutting-down your kidneys?! You are not sure!

Some of these herbs have serious side-effects and cause allergic reactions. You see? Others interfere with modern drugs rendering them less effective or even poisonous!

We are not even sure of the level of hygiene employed when preparing the concoctions. And so on.

I repeat: So, instead of saying “I have jedi-Jedi“, go and see a doctor! He will do some tests and tell you the actually disease you have. And then treat that disease!
