Patients with rectal cancer, especially in the middle and late stages, mostly have symptoms such as increased frequency of stool, accompanied by anal swelling, prolapse, and even local oozing of tumor, which makes patients feel deeply painful and embarrassed, and seriously reduces their quality of life. In this regard, TCM doctors are good at it. They have treated dozens of similar cases in outpatient clinics or wards, and have some experience to share with fellow doctors and patients: 1.Tonic Zhong Yi Qi : “The main formula of Tonic Zhong Yi Qi Tang in Li Gao’s Treatise on Spleen and Stomach is added and subtracted to treat patients with weakness, withered face, loose stools and other weakness of spleen qi, with remarkable effect. This includes post-operative patients with slower post-operative recovery, wounds that do not heal easily, and delays in chemotherapy as a result. There was a case of a patient from Heilongjiang, the wound still had not healed 2 months after surgery, and I treated it with the main formula of Nesheng Toxin San combined with Tonic Zhong Yi Qi Tang, and the wound healed within a week and successfully completed the subsequent chemotherapy. 2, combined radiotherapy to increase the effectiveness and reduce toxicity Some patients undergoing post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy in western hospitals may have more serious bone marrow suppression, including anemia, low white blood cells, platelets decreased significantly, liver and kidney function damage. In contrast, TCM helps patients to complete radiotherapy successfully by supporting the righteousness, benefiting the qi and nourishing the blood, while alleviating these side effects. The commonly used formula is based on Si Jun Zi Tang and Li Zhong Tang. For those who are in stable condition, they can also make their own pills like Qiong Yu Cream for long-term oral intake. 3, external bathing formula A decoction of Chinese herbal medicine, such as Baihe, Amaranthus, and Sophora, can play the role of “clearing heat and drying dampness, astringing sores and creating muscles”, which has certain curative effect. Some patients showed anal retraction and reduction of exudate after one sitz bath. In conclusion, Chinese medicine in the treatment of rectal cancer can improve the symptoms and reduce the pain of patients to a certain extent, so that patients can “live with dignity”.
