ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a proven case of Gegen Qinlian Decoction in treating diarrhea after colon cancer surgery. Diarrhea after colon cancer surgery is one of the most common diseases after colon cancer surgery, and diarrhea quickly recurs, which brings great trouble to the daily lives of patients. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is related to the viscera and meridians, especially the liver, spleen, and kidney. Spleen deficiency and excessive dampness can cause diarrhea; spleen deficiency and liver depression can cause qi disorder; spleen deficiency and kidney can cause severe illness. The author uses Gegen Qinlian Decoction to invigorate the spleen, promote diuresis, warm Yang, and promote blood circulation. It has achieved ideal results in treating diarrhea after colon cancer surgery. Now, the experience is summarized as follows to be shared with colleagues.
