Grandpa Qiao, who was over seventy years old, suffered from constipation, and happened to hear that enemas could relieve constipation, so he tried it at home. Unexpectedly, this move unexpectedly led to "intestinal perforation".
(▲Before treatment)
Not long ago, Grandpa Qiao felt that his constipation symptoms were worsening, and his abdomen was uncomfortably distended. Under the recommendation of a friend, I found the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases of Yueyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for consultation.
After carefully inquiring about Grandpa Qiao's medical history and symptoms, the doctor in charge, Dr. Yao, showed a "perforated intestine" on the abdomen. Why does constipation cause intestinal perforation?
Wang Huan, director of the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases of Yueyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, heard the report of this case and felt that this case was a bit special.
(▲After treatment)
Immediately walked into the ward to communicate face-to-face with Grandpa Qiao and gain an in-depth understanding of the medical history. After some patient and meticulous questioning, Grandpa Qiao finally revealed his experience of self-enema due to constipation.
Hearing this, the experts suddenly realized. Grandpa Joe's intestinal perforation is likely to be caused by careless manipulation during the enema. A colonoscopy confirmed this conjecture, and Grandpa Joe was diagnosed with a rectal abscess with perforation.
After finding the cause of the disease, Director Wang Huan formulated a set of treatment plans combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on Grandpa Qiao's physical condition and the characteristics of his condition.
Through treatment, Grandpa Qiao's condition improved rapidly. On the 7th day of hospitalization, Grandpa Qiao rechecked the colonoscopy again, which showed that the rectal abscess had been cured and the perforation had completely healed. When he was discharged from the hospital, Grandpa Qiao gave a thumbs up to the department's medical team.
Wang Huan, director of the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases of Yueyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that the number of chronic constipation patients in mainland China is increasing year by year, and the prevalence rate of people over 60 years old is particularly high.
For intractable constipation, it is difficult to improve the symptoms in daily life, so we must go to the hospital in time to receive standardized treatment, and the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is based on different syndrome types, using traditional Chinese medicine decoction, supplemented by moxibustion, acupoint application, Chinese medicine enema, acupuncture, massage and other external treatments have significant curative effects.
Enemas can treat constipation, but you must not take an enema on your own, and you must go to the hospital to have an enema administered by a medical professional. Otherwise, once careless, it may cause serious consequences such as intestinal perforation, intestinal ulcers, and intestinal infections.
