| Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) represents the largest proportion of osteoporosis, and seriously affects the health of middle-aged and old women and their quality of life. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages in the treatment of PMOP, but the TCM diagnosis and treatment of PMOP mostly takes "kidney-bone" as the main theoretical basis, and often ignores the important role of "liver". Women with the liver as a congenital, therefore for elderly women, "treating from the liver" is particularly important. In this paper, the pathogenesis of PMOP was discussed based on the physiological functions of liver, such as hepatic main catharsis - free emotion, liver storing blood, liver - tendon, etc., so as to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of PMOP. |
