First presentation! Huaiqihuang granules can be used for the treatment of chronic constipation in adults

In early January this year, Huang Zhongcheng, director of anorectal surgery of Hunan Provincial people's Hospital, and Wei Dong, director of anorectal surgery of 989 Hospital of the joint logistics support force of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, jointly wrote the book "progress in diagnosis and treatment of chronic constipation", which was published and distributed by anorectal experts from many tertiary hospitals across the country.

Chronic constipation is a common bowel disease worldwide. It occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. The incidence rate increases significantly after 60 years old, and the growth rate is the fastest after 70 years old. Causes are common in:

1. Functional defecation disorders

2. Intestinal disease (colon tumor, diverticulum.

3. Intestinal cavity is narrow or obstructive yang, megacolon, colorectal surgery, intestinal volvulus, etc.).

4. Endocrine and metabolic diseases (severe dehydration, diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, multiple endocrine adenomas, heavy metal poisoning, hypercalcemia, hypermagnesemia or hypomagnesemia, etc.).

5. Neurological disorders (cerebrovascular disease, cognitive impairment or dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury).

6. Muscle diseases (amyloidosis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, etc.).

7. Drug factors (antidepressants, antihistamines, antipsychotics, antispasmodic drugs, such as channel blocking drugs, diuretics, single-loaded oxidative shadow inhibitors, opioids, sympathomimetics, antacids containing aluminum or calcium, calcium, iron, antidiarrheal, etc.).

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that constipation belongs to the disadvantage of large intestine, conduction loss, and is related to the dysfunction of lung, spleen, liver, kidney and other viscera. If Yin deficiency and stomach heat are excessive, and the essence is damaged and fluid is consumed, the intestines will lose their moisture. Deficiency of spleen and lung qi, weak conduction of large intestine; Stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of qi and qi, stagnation of qi and fire, injury of Jin, loss of fu organs. Lack of yin and fluid, deficiency of kidney and yang, stagnation of yin and cold, and blockage of body fluid can all affect the conduction of large intestine and induce constipation. The clinical syndromes are usually heat-knot constipation, qi stagnation constipation, qi deficiency constipation, blood deficiency constipation, yin deficiency constipation and yang deficiency constipation.

Huaiqihuang Granules is composed of three traditional Chinese medicines: Huaier, Lycium barbarum and Rhizoctonia. Among them, Huaier has the effects of "treating wind", "breaking blood" and "benefiting strength"; Lycium barbarum can nourish the kidney and lungs, and nourish the liver.; Polypantheria has the effects of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, nourishing yin and moistening the lung, and benefiting the kidney. The three-medicine prescription, replenishing qi and nourishing yin, replenishing qi but not stagnating qi, nourishing yin but not greasy, is very suitable for the treatment of chronic constipation induced by yin deficiency and stomach heat or qi deficiency or qi and yin deficiency.

The original "functional indications" in the product manual of Huaiqihuang granules contained instructions for the treatment of "loss of appetite and secret stool. However, there is no literature or academic monograph on the treatment of chronic constipation in adults with Huaiqihuang Granules. Therefore, the book "Progress in Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Constipation" has become the first academic monograph on Huaiqihuang in the treatment of chronic constipation in adults.
