Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a worldwide refractory bowel disease with unclear pathogenesis. Its lesions can lead to colorectal cancer over time. UC is classified as “diarrhea,” “dysentery,” and other categories in traditional Chinese medicine. Its etiology and pathogenesis in traditional Chinese medicine are complex, but it has been found that blood stasis plays an important role in its occurrence and development. Combined with modern research, the relationship between blood stasis and ulcerative colitis is analyzed in this article along with a discussion on the therapeutic effect of activating blood and removing blood stasis on the disease, aiming to provide new ideas for the treatment of UC.
