Symptoms and Management of Damp-Heat in the Stomach and Intestine

Symptoms of Damp-Heat in the stomach and intestines include body heat, bitter mouth, pain and fullness in the stomach and epigastric region, dysentery with pus and blood (diarrhea with pus and blood in the feces), urgency and heaviness in the stomach and intestines (discomfort in the lower abdomen, wanting to relieve the feces very much, and feeling of incomplete defecation after defecation), yellowish, thick, smelly feces, burning in the anus, and short, yellowish urination, and so on. It can be regulated by clearing dampness and heat. If Damp-Heat favors the stomach and triggers pain, accompanied by a lack of desire to eat and nausea, it can be treated by taking Qingzhong Tang plus subtractions to regulate the treatment. If Damp-Heat obstructs the stomach and intestines, causing gastric fullness (stomach distension and discomfort), take Diarrhea-Heat Tang combined with Lian Pu Drink with additions and subtractions. If Damp-Heat favors the intestines and causes diarrhea, take Ge Gen Scutellaria Lian Lian Tang plus or minus to regulate the treatment. Damp-heat syndrome in the stomach and intestines should be treated by a professional doctor under the guidance of diagnosis and treatment, and should not be taken arbitrarily, so as to avoid the medication not being suitable for the symptoms, which may cause adverse effects.
