Based on the Theory That"The Anus is Also The Five Internal Organs"to Treat Elderly Functional Constipation
Functional constipation(FC)is a common digestive disease in elderly patients.Traditional Chinese medicine be-lieves that although FC is located in the intestine,it is closely related to the dysfunction of viscera such as lung,spleen and stom-ach,kidney,liver and heart.Based on the theory that"The anus is also the five internal organs",it is concluded that stagnation of liver qi,deficiency of spleen qi,deficiency of lung qi,lack of mental and spiritual nourishment,and deficiency of yin and yang of kidney can all lead to the occurrence of FC.Therefore,clinical treatment should be comprehensively treated from the as-pects of soothing liver,strengthening spleen,tonifying lung,nourishing heart,and nourishing kidney,which broadens the diag-nosis and treatment ideas and has good curative effect.One test case is attached for evidence.
