Treatment of chronic colitis

We divide colitis into two types: acute colitis and chronic colitis. The characteristic of chronic colitis is that it is chronic and prone to recurrence during treatment. Therefore, we often encounter troubles of one kind or another in the treatment of chronic colitis, causing many patients with chronic colitis to even doubt whether chronic colitis can be cured. In fact, we still have many ways to treat chronic colitis.

Chronic colitis can cause symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal pain. In addition, chronic colitis can also cause patients to have bloody stools, intestinal bleeding and digestive tract diseases, so we must do a good job in preventing and treating chronic colitis.

Chronic colitis is a chronic, recurrent, multiple-focal colitis with the colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum as the disease sites. It refers to inflammatory edema, ulcers, and bleeding lesions in the rectum and colon caused by various pathogenic causes. Symptoms include pain in the lower left abdomen, diarrhea, tenesmus, occasional liquid in the stool, alternating constipation and diarrhea, intermittent improvement and deterioration, lingering and recurrent symptoms. Chronic colitis is a chronic colon disease that is usually divided into specific colitis with obvious causes and nonspecific colitis with unknown causes.

Prevention and treatment of chronic colitis. When people mention chronic colitis, they will think of clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. I don't understand the harm that chronic colitis can do to the body. Due to diarrhea, no matter how much and how good the food is, nutrients and water will pass through the intestines and be lost in large quantities. Nutrients passing through the intestines lead to disorders in the synthesis of immunoglobulins in the body, which weakens the body's resistance to pathogenic factors, causes inflammation to spread, viruses to invade, and makes people susceptible to influenza. Water passing through the intestines can cause dehydration, shock, and acidosis. Protein passing through the intestines causes anemia, weight loss, muscle relaxation, fatigue, pale skin, hair loss, decreased attention, and decreased kidney function. Repeated attacks of enteritis, proliferation and ulceration of intestinal mucosa, coupled with the continuous erosion of fecal toxins and bacteria, aggravate the deterioration of the disease. The worsening of ulcers will lead to suppuration, and abrasion of exposed nerves will cause bloody stools. Polyps, ulcers and bleeding may also form in the intestines. Intestinal polyps will further cause intestinal perforation, intestinal adhesions, and even intestinal cancer.

Regarding the prevention and treatment of chronic colitis, Chinese medicine believes that a person is an organic whole and the lesions of any organ are not isolated. It is closely related to the balance of yin and yang in the whole body, the circulation of qi and blood, and the interconnection between internal organs. Any treatment targeting only intestinal lesions can only achieve short-term effects and will not help to completely recover from the disease.

Chronic colitis and irritable bowel syndrome have a long course of disease and are therefore difficult to treat. Western medicine mainly uses antibiotics for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-infection treatment. According to the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine, treatment can be carried out from multiple angles targeting different causes of disease, giving full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation and treatment, thus achieving significant therapeutic effects. Since this disease is characterized by a mixture of deficiency and excess, cold and heat, it is necessary to regulate the patient's liver, kidneys, spleen and stomach and strengthen the body's physique to achieve the purpose of the body's antiviral effect. You can choose Evodia rutaecarpa and cinnamon bark to warm the middle and stop diarrhea, Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron chinense to clear away heat and reduce inflammation, and red ochre and gallnut to astringe the intestines and prevent diarrhea. They can treat both the symptoms and the root cause of chronic diarrhea and have the effect of astringing the intestines and stopping diarrhea. In addition, patients with chronic diarrhea should undergo barium enema or colonoscopy as early as possible to prevent the disease from developing into other diseases, which will be too late to regret.

Above we introduced what chronic colitis is. We know that chronic colitis is a type of colitis. The treatment of chronic colitis takes a certain amount of time. Chronic colitis is prone to recurrence, so we must do a good job in daily care of patients with chronic colitis. The above article introduces in detail the treatment methods of chronic colitis.
