The damage to the body caused by five nights’ diarrhea needs to be judged according to the severity of the patient’s condition, which cannot be judged solely on the basis of the name of the disease.
The five night diarrhea refers to the pre-dawn abdominal pain for leakage, more water, stools are not shaped, after the leakage is comfortable. Because it is mostly caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency (deficiency of yang qi in the spleen and kidneys), it is also called kidney diarrhea, which is what we usually think of as five o’clock diarrhea.
Diarrhea not only has kidney deficiency, but also includes alcohol accumulation, cold accumulation, food accumulation (food indigestion and stagnation in the stomach), liver fire, etc. It is mainly related to physiological factors, prolonged illnesses, dietary factors, external cold and emotional factors.
Patients who have diarrhea need to consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment with medication, do not self-medication, so as not to delay or aggravate the condition.
