Constipation is a common digestive system problem that can cause various harms to the human body:

Harm to the intestines
1. Causes intestinal diseases
Long term constipation can cause dry stools, which can easily scratch the intestinal mucosa. After damage to the intestinal mucosa, bacteria and other pathogens are more likely to invade, increasing the risk of intestinal infections such as enteritis.
Constipation can also lead to the accumulation of endotoxins in the intestines. Because the feces in the intestines cannot be excreted in a timely manner, harmful substances will be repeatedly absorbed by the intestines. These toxins can have adverse effects on intestinal cells and may induce intestinal polyps in the long term, with some intestinal polyps having the possibility of becoming cancerous.
2. Affects intestinal function
The regular peristalsis of the intestine is the key to normal digestion and excretion. During constipation, the intestinal peristalsis function gradually weakens. This is because feces remain in the intestine for a long time, and the neural reflexes in the intestine are inhibited, resulting in insufficient motility of intestinal peristalsis. Over time, the normal rhythm of the intestines is disrupted, further exacerbating constipation and forming a vicious cycle.

The harm to the rectum
1. Causing colorectal diseases
Constipation patients need to exert excessive force during defecation, which can cause the anal mucosa to protrude outward and obstruct venous return, leading to the occurrence of hemorrhoids or exacerbating the symptoms of existing hemorrhoids. Forceful defecation may also cause tearing of the anal skin, leading to anal fissures. Anal fissure can cause symptoms such as pain and bleeding during defecation, and due to the pain, patients may further worsen constipation due to fear of defecation.
2. Long term constipation may also cause rectal prolapse
When abdominal pressure continues to increase to push dry stool out, the rectal mucosa or entire rectum will gradually shift downwards, ultimately leading to rectal prolapse.
Harm to other systems of the body
1. Affects the cardiovascular system
For elderly people or those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, straining to defecate during constipation may lead to serious consequences. Forcefully defecating can cause a sharp increase in abdominal pressure, which can lead to an instant rise in blood pressure. Sudden increase in blood pressure may cause cerebral vascular rupture, leading to cerebral hemorrhage; It may also increase the burden on the heart and trigger cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction.
2. Affects the endocrine system
The intestine is one of the largest endocrine organs in the human body, and constipation can interfere with its endocrine function. For example, constipation may affect the normal secretion of intestinal hormones, such as serotonin. Serotonin plays an important role in regulating emotions, sleep, and other aspects. When serotonin secretion is abnormal, it may lead to emotional fluctuations, anxiety, depression, and other emotional problems, and may also affect sleep quality.

3. Affects skin health
Due to constipation, toxins cannot be eliminated from the body in a timely manner, and these toxins will reach the skin through blood circulation. Skin may experience problems such as acne, pimples, dullness, and pigmentation. This is because toxins can interfere with the normal metabolism of the skin, causing blockage of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and affecting the renewal and repair of skin cells.
Why is it said that women and the elderly are more susceptible to constipation? For example, defecation is like sailing a boat. If the boat wants to move, the first thing it needs is water, which is called 'moistening the intestines' in traditional Chinese medicine. Secondly, there must also be wind, which is called' regulating qi 'in traditional Chinese medicine. The most prominent problem of female constipation and elderly constipation is blood deficiency and qi deficiency, weak gastrointestinal qi reduction, and repeated blockage after one bowel movement.

Today, I will share a medicine specifically designed to treat constipation in women and the elderly. It is - Cistanche deserticola.

Cistanche deserticola was first recorded in the "Shennong Bencao Jing" and is classified as a top-grade herb: "It has a sweet and slightly warm taste and grows in valleys. It can treat five types of fatigue and seven types of injuries, nourish the middle, remove cold, heat, and pain from the stem, nourish the five organs, strengthen yin, nourish essence and qi, have more children, and alleviate women's fatigue. Long term use can lighten the body.

Cistanche deserticola can have a moisturizing and detoxifying effect on the intestines. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Cistanche deserticola enters the kidney and colon meridians, tonifying the kidneys and aiding yang to moisten dryness and promote bowel movements. The decoction of Cistanche deserticola drugs has a significant laxative effect, which can improve intestinal peristalsis, inhibit water absorption in the large intestine, and shorten defecation time. The therapeutic effect is significant for habitual constipation in the elderly, body deficiency constipation, and postpartum constipation in mothers.
