Abstract: Postoperative lower limb lymphedema following gynecological malignancies can be categorized under TCM concepts of"edema"and"meridian obstruction".Professor Jia Liqun believes that the underlying deficiency lies in yang and blood deficiency,while the excess is characterized by dampness and blood stasis obstructing the meridians.Consequently,the treatment strategies include warming yang and nourishing blood to unblock the meridians,dispelling dampness and promoting diuresis to unblock the meridians,and transforming stasis and promoting diuresis to unblock the meridians.Clinical practice requires dynamic syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the disease progression.Additionally,Professor Jia often employs the external application of Wenjing Tongluo Powder to directly target the affected area,combining internal and external treatments to enhance the effect of unblocking the meridians and reducing swelling.
