Generally, sticky stools are not due to spleen yang deficiency or spleen yin deficiency, but due to gastrointestinal dampness and heat and other reasons. Patients with spleen yang deficiency usually show symptoms such as fear of cold, poor appetite, bloating and abdominal pain after eating, unshaped and thin stools, and swelling of the limbs. Patients with Spleen-Yin deficiency usually show symptoms such as dryness and heat, loss of appetite, poor bowel movement, and dry stools. Both usually do not have the symptom of sticky stools. In Chinese medicine clinic, sticky and greasy stools are mostly considered to be caused by the stagnation of dampness and heat in the large intestine or stomach, which usually manifests as sticky and greasy stools, mucus or pus and blood in the stools, burning sensation in the anus after defecation, abdominal pain, etc., which is mostly due to the invasion of the intestines by the evil of dampness, heat and toxin, or the lack of dietary restraints. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals in a timely manner, and under the guidance of professional physicians, to clarify the cause of the disease and choose the correct method of treatment.
