Journal: Journal of Clinical Medicine Research DOI: 10.32629/jcmr.v7i2.5290
Abstract
Senile constipation is a common clinical disorder. With the accelerating population aging in China, its incidence has been increasing year by year. Applying the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Sanjiao qi transformation theory to explore the pathogenesis and treatment of senile constipation provides an innovative academic perspective. As the essential passage for the circulation of qi and blood, Sanjiao participates in the whole process of the generation, distribution and metabolism of qi, blood and body fluids, and is closely correlated with the onset and progression of constipation. Based on the Sanjiao qi transformation theory, integrated TCM intervention combined with lifestyle regulation presents prominent advantages in the management of senile constipation.
