ABSTRACT

Constipation is one of the chronic complications of diabetes and the most common gastrointestinal symptom of diabetes patients. Constipation in diabetes is the result of multiple factors, such as the damage of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells caused by elevated blood sugar, the reduction of colorectal sensitivity, and colorectal autonomic neuropathy. Professor Song Zongliang believes that the main pathogenesis of diabetes constipation is intestinal dryness, body fluid depletion, and blood stasis. The treatment of diabetes constipation adopts the methods of nourishing yin and increasing fluid, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, purging the fu organs, and purging heat. He not only created Zengye Huoxue Tang but also developed personalized treatment plans, which achieved significant therapeutic effects.
