Chronic spleen deficiency in men can lead to spleen deficiency and dampness and spleen and kidney yang deficiency (deficiency of yang qi in the spleen and kidneys). According to Chinese medicine, the spleen is the root of the body, and all food consumed by the human body has to be absorbed by the body through the spleen’s function of transportation and transformation into qi, blood and essence. Spleen deficiency is commonly characterized by spleen qi deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as decreased appetite, lack of qi and laziness (lack of strength, not wanting to talk), yellowish color (yellowish and lack of luster), and depression, which can lead to prolapse of the organs, and thus prolapse of the anus. If long-term spleen deficiency can be further developed into spleen deficiency and dampness, manifesting as plumpness in the epigastrium (abdomen), abdominal pain and loose stools (thin and unshaped stools), greasy mouth and dullness (no appetite, reduced food intake), generalized evil desire to vomit (nausea and vomiting), head and body sleepiness (a feeling of heaviness in the head and limbs), obscure yellow color of the face or yellowish body and eyes, obscure yellow color as smoky, or swollen limbs, short urine, and so on. Prolonged illness injures the spleen yang and further affects the kidney yang, and ultimately the spleen and kidney are all deficient, manifesting as cold pain in the waist, knees and lower abdomen, prolonged diarrhea, or diarrhea at five o’clock (diarrhea before dawn), undigested grain (more undigested food in the stools), cold stools, or swelling of the whole body, dysuria (unruly urination), cold body (cold body) and cold limbs, and a white face. If you have any related conditions, it is recommended to treat them under the guidance of a professional doctor, and not to use medicines blindly on your own.
