Frequent diarrhea? Traditional Chinese Medicine: Maybe it is related to these 3 kinds of constitution, you might as well check it out

"Diarrhea" is one of the most common human symptoms in life, it is commonly known as diarrhea. From a clinical point of view, diarrhea refers to the frequency of defecation significantly exceeding the usual frequency of defecation, and repeated diarrhea in a day.

　　And the nature and shape of the stool have changed significantly, from the initial shape, moderate soft and hard state, into thin stool, increased water, watery stool , the daily defecation volume exceeds 200g or more, and sometimes there is still in the stool. Undigested food, mucus.

　　From a scientific point of view, the reason why people have diarrhea is directly related to the increase in water in the stool . A normal person has about 9L of liquid entering the gastrointestinal tract every day, and through the reabsorption of water in the intestines, the final water content in the feces is only about 100~200ml .

　　If the amount of fluid entering the colon exceeds the absorption capacity of the colon, or the absorption capacity of the colon is reduced , it will lead to an increase in the excretion of water in the stool and diarrhea.

　　Clinically, there are many factors that induce diarrhea. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people who often suffer from diarrhea are affected by their constitution, which is mainly divided into the following three constitutions:

1. Weak spleen and stomach

　　From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, people with weak spleen and stomach are prone to diarrhea, accompanied by indigestion, yellow face and thin muscles, loss of appetite, dull and tasteless mouth, bowel sounds and other symptoms;

2. Spleen and kidney yang deficiency

　　Diarrhea is a common manifestation of spleen-kidney yang deficiency. It is characterized by obvious abdominal pain and bowel sounds before dawn , accompanied by symptoms of diarrhea. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this symptom Wugeng diarrhea .

The bowel sounds and abdominal pain disappeared after　　the patient had a bowel movement . At the same time, the patient will also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as loose stools, chills in the abdomen, yellow face and thin muscles, indigestion, loss of appetite, lethargy, etc.;

3. Liver stagnation and spleen deficiency

　　The typical symptoms of liver stagnation and spleen deficiency are abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, and syrupy stools .

　　At the same time, patients will also be accompanied by hiccups, decreased appetite, and increased frequency of farting . Moreover, these symptoms are exacerbated whenever the patient is stressed or overexcited.

　　Of course, this is only the conclusion given by traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of modern medicine, the causes of diarrhea are more complicated. According to the duration of diarrhea, diarrhea is divided into two categories: acute and chronic:

1. Acute diarrhea

　　The onset of this type of diarrhea is more acute, and the course of the disease is within 2-3 weeks . Most of them are affected by infectious factors, including viral and bacterial infections. In addition, food poisoning, taking certain drugs (laxatives, cholinergic drugs), being affected by other diseases (acute ulcerative colitis, necrotizing enteritis, food allergies), etc. , can cause acute diarrhea;

　　2. Chronic diarrhea

　　The causes of chronic diarrhea are more complex than acute diarrhea. Intestinal infectious diseases (chronic bacterial diseases, intestinal tuberculosis), non-infectious inflammations (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, radiation enteritis, etc.), intestinal cancer, Intestinal polyps, small intestinal malabsorption, gastric and hepatobiliary diseases, pancreatic diseases, systemic diseases, etc., may cause chronic diarrhea.

　　In addition, the occasional occurrence of diarrhea may also be related to improper eating, such as eating a large amount of fatty food, irritating food, etc. at one time, which will lead to diarrhea. If acute diarrhea occurs suddenly, or repeated diarrhea for a long time, everyone should be vigilant, seek medical attention in time to find the cause, and then start treatment. This is the correct way.
