Ulcerative colitis

1. Drug treatment of colitis: The key to the treatment of colitis is in the formulation of the medicine. Frequent bowel movements do not necessarily mean the use of tonic medicine. It is necessary to combine syndrome differentiation with disease differentiation, and to combine spleen strengthening with neutralization and tonic. It is necessary to both strengthen the body and eliminate evil. Strengthening the body is to cure the root cause, and eliminating evil is to eliminate inflammation. Only in this way can the effect be better.

2. Psychological treatment of colitis: Do a good job in the patient's ideological work, and ask him to relax his whole body as much as possible. For those who are overly nervous, sedatives such as diazepam and sedatives can be used.

3. Dietary treatment of colitis: During the diarrhea period, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, and the fiber content in the diet should be appropriately reduced. It is advisable to eat easily digestible liquid diet rich in folic acid, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc and other trace elements. Avoid milk and dairy products. In severe cases, fasting is recommended for the first few days, and intravenous hypernutrition therapy can be used to allow the intestines to rest.

4. Chinese medicine enema colitis: Chinese medicine retention enema treatment method is generally performed before going to bed at night. The stool should be emptied before enema. During enema, the patient's limbs should be exposed as little as possible to prevent cold. Generally, the left side decubitus position is adopted for retention enema. Clinically, 80% of colitis lesions are in the sigmoid colon and rectum. The left side decubitus position and then raising the buttocks can make the drug act directly on the lesion for a long time, and can give full play to the therapeutic effect of the drug. After the enema, the patient is still required to maintain the left side decubitus position with the buttocks raised, and do not change the position. The temperature of the Chinese medicine solution for enema should generally be slightly higher than or the same as the intestinal temperature. The intestinal temperature is 37℃~37.5℃, so the temperature of the Chinese medicine solution for enema is generally maintained between 37.5℃~38.5℃, which is conducive to the retention and absorption of the medicine solution. Too high a temperature may irritate the intestinal mucosa, and intestinal mucosa in congestion, edema, erosion, and ulceration may easily cause a defecation reflex. Too low a temperature is not conducive to the absorption of the drug and cannot achieve the therapeutic effect. At the same time, it may stimulate the intestinal mucosa to cause peristalsis, which is not suitable for the retention of the medicine solution. The depth of anal canal insertion is generally between 15 cm and 20 cm. When it is greater than 20 cm, the patient will feel uncomfortable and the trauma is too great. If it is too shallow, less than 10 cm, the drug solution will enter the rectum and stimulate the defecation reflex, causing the drug solution to be discharged and should not be retained.
