When we talked about the knowledge of gastrointestinal polyps before, there were many friends who inquired in private messages in the background, that is, they wanted to know whether the disease would recur after they had done polyp removal surgery, or what situation would make the polyps come back.
In my clinical experience, after surgical resection of gastrointestinal polyps, there is an important concern that there is normal bowel movements. If there is a problem with bowel movements, the likelihood of polyps recurring increases significantly.
In fact, not only gastrointestinal polyps patients, the average person if there is a long-term problem with defecation, can not be careless, this is likely to be the body's more serious problem in vitro response.
For example, constipation, which is one of the most common symptoms encountered in the clinic, and most of the people who come to see me are severe constipation or long-term constipation, because they don't care when the symptoms are mild.
Some people just casually buy some drugs with laxative effect, these drugs will often have a certain effect after taking, but it is difficult to last, and soon there will be constipation symptoms, so repeated and repeated, the gastrointestinal damage is greater.
There are also many patients who are elderly, and this situation is even more important to pay special attention to. Because many elderly patients have a cardiovascular chronic disease basis, if you use force to defecate in this case, it may lead to changes in blood flow in the cerebral blood vessels or coronary arteries, which will lead to arrhythmias, angina, cerebrovascular accidents, acute myocardial infarction, etc., resulting in serious consequences.
This problem looks very bizarre, in fact, quite realistic, many literature related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have been reported, constipation has become one of the common causes of death in modern cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients.
In TCM theory, many causes can cause constipation, and the symptoms are different. For example, the elderly constipation patients just mentioned, often are false evidence, especially spleen weakness, such patients are characterized by weak bowel movements, so they will struggle to earn, and then there is sweating shortness of breath, which is very dangerous for people who already have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In summary, if there are long-term symptoms of constipation, whether it is a polyposis patient or not, can not be neglected, especially in the elderly with chronic diseases, if there is constipation, and the course of the disease is long or there is a repetitive trend, it should be interviewed by a professional TCM physician and reasonably treated through dialectical methods.
Having said constipation, we also mentioned earlier that diarrhea is also a manifestation of poor gastrointestinal function, just today I also shared a dietary remedy that is very effective for spleen deficiency and diarrhea in the micro headlines, the specific method is to take coix, coix kernel, lotus seeds, lentils, yam These five flavors each 90g, ginseng and poria take 60g, white art to take 30g, grind these materials together into powder, and then add an appropriate amount of white sugar kneading, and then steamed into a pastry.
This eight-treasure cake has the ability to strengthen the spleen, improve qi and permeate moisture at the same time, and has a conditioning effect on spleen and stomach deficiency, especially diarrhea symptoms caused by spleen deficiency. It is dried and stored for a long time, and can be eaten as a pastry or as breakfast.
