If the stool is blocked, how to treat it? People who are not doctors will also say: use catharsis or diarrhea medicine! In fact, constipation is not so simple!
If you ask: is the stool unobstructed? Is it excess syndrome? Deficiency syndrome? People who have a little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine will immediately choose empirical diagnosis. However, the two times are not the most impressive.
One time, when I was young, I met a guy of 18 or 9 years old who had no bowel movement. He's not a very smart man - a little silly, but strong. However, at that time, farmers in their hometown often took sorghum as their staple food, which often caused constipation. This young man is at home to pull hard for a long time, can not pull out, just went to the hospital. I still remember that he said to me repeatedly with a sad face: I can't pull it out! Think about it quickly! I had to put on my gloves and take it out for him!
Attention! Maybe enema or taking Dachengqi Decoction can solve the problem. However, the stool has reached the anus and has been held there for half a day. At this time, the quickest and convenient way to defecate is to take it out by hand. Obviously, this young man's disease is a typical demonstration - it can be considered that he has no healthy qi at all - although he has been defecating for half a day, he can't pull it out, which also consumes healthy qi.
Another patient was not treated by me personally, but was told by a friend who was an editor of traditional Chinese medicine. The editor's mother has been in bed for many years with severe stroke sequelae. The old lady is more than 80 years old and always has difficulty defecating. Her stool is not dry, but she can't defecate by herself. The reason is simple. She has been unable to defecate.
The editor's son tried a variety of methods for her, such as oral laxatives, the use of Kaiselu and so on, all of which failed to work. Enema is not only troublesome, but also easy to get full bed stool. It's the most convenient and effective way to take out gloves for her. In this way, this editor friend has been serving my mother for three or four years. Such patients obviously should not use Dachengqi Decoction and so on. Because her stool is blocked, first of all, it is false evidence!
Don't think it's indecent to take out your stool with your hands.
It's standard professional behavior for a doctor to do so - even though the patient's family will thank you so much.
If it is their senior parents suffering from this card, it is filial piety to be able to do so.
