In the clinic we often some older people because of constipation to come to the doctor, with our understanding of constipation is different, these older people do not have obvious abdominal distension, abdominal pain, just feel that they have not had a few days of stool, and squatting down can not be out, and obviously feel that their appetite decreased, eat a little on the full, and even less want to eat, these performances in fact, is the old man is common disease These signs are actually a common disease in the elderly called constipation, the prevalence of which can be as high as 15% -20% in the elderly population over 60 years old in China.
Don't look at the clinical symptoms of old age constipation is not obvious, but it is because of its initial symptoms and is not obvious, which leads to the accumulation of more and more feces in the intestinal tract, and some people even end up forming the "fecal stone", have to use surgical methods to solve the problem, which seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly
These are the symptoms of the old age constipation. This is the first time a person has been in the hospital. Chinese medicine has a long history of understanding constipation, roughly divided into "solid constipation", "false constipation" and "false mixed constipation" three categories, the elderly, the physiology of the organs and organs are gradually weakening. Physiology has organs gradually decline, the function of the characteristics of the elderly constipation is the root cause of the pathological characteristics of the gas, blood and fluid deficiency, intestinal loss of nourishment, thus due to the deficiency of the secret, so it belongs to the "deficiency mixed type constipation", and Chinese medicine there is a commonly used in the treatment of old age constipation of Chinese medicine --- hemp seed kernel pills. Hemp Ziren Pill is a traditional Chinese medicine classic "Typhoid Fever" in the prescription, mainly by hemp Ziren, Hovenia, thick Park, rhubarb, almonds, peony, honey, with laxative and diarrhea, the efficacy of the qi and laxative, mainly used for the treatment of constipation of the spleen about the spleen, and the spleen about the "means" refers to the deficiency of spleen and less fluid, the intestinal fluids are dry, so that the stools are difficult to come out of the hard and astringent. It is mainly used to treat constipation of the spleen. The formula is made up of hemp seed kernel, which is moistened with fat and can lubricate the intestines and relieve constipation. The main herb Almonds purify the lung qi and moisten the large intestine; white peony nourishes blood and astringes the yin, relieves urgency and relieves pain, and is used as the minister. Supporting herbs Rhubarb, Citrus aurantium dulcis, thick park combined as Xiao Cheng Qi Tang, can be light down the heat knot as a supporting drug. The medicine Honey is sweet and slow, and helps to moisten the intestines and laxatives with hemp seeds, as an adjuvant. Modern pharmacological inflammation studies show that hemp seed pill contains chrysanthemum derivatives, pu compounds, ravines, paeoniae vera, bitter almonds, volatile oil, fatty oils, organic acids and other dozens of chemical constituents, the relevant animal experiments show that hemp seed pill has the following aspects of the role: ① hemp seed pill can enhance the body of the intestinal smooth muscle activity, increase the amplitude of intestinal smooth muscle contraction, thus accelerating the small intestine, large intestine propulsion, and the body of the intestines, and the intestines. Thus accelerating the small intestine, large intestine propulsion speed and play a diarrhea effect. ② Ma Zi Ren Pills can increase the rate of gastrointestinal propulsion, increase the activity of serum superoxide dismutase, which is conducive to the removal of lipid peroxides in the body, thereby protecting the intestinal mucosa. When it comes to the treatment of constipation, the most classic is the large Chengqi Tang and hemp seed pill, but there is actually a big difference between the two. Dachengqi Tang has the effect of precipitating the heat knot, mainly for the treatment of yangming visceral solid evidence, clinical manifestations of fecal impassability, epigastric plumpness, abdominal pain and refusal to press, press the hard, or even feverish delirium, hands and feet of the men's yar with sweating, the tongue is yellow and dry, and the pulse is heavy and solid.
