Chinese medicine believes that loose stools are mainly related to dampness, spleen deficiency and yang deficiency, and should be treated by the physician in conjunction with the accompanying symptoms. 1. Dampness: Chinese medicine believes that dampness is sticky and turbid, and if there is dampness in the body, it is easy to block the qi, so cold and dampness can lead to loose stools (thin and unshaped feces), accompanied by limb heaviness (limb weakness, fatigue), nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and other symptoms. 2. Spleen deficiency: If the spleen qi is deficient, the function of transportation and digestion will be affected, which will also cause loose stools, accompanied by symptoms such as yellowish color (yellowish and lusterless), hidden pain in the abdomen, and mental depression. 3. Yang deficiency: If there is a deficiency of yang qi, the spleen yang’s ability to transport and transform water and dampness is insufficient, which can also lead to loose stools, mostly occurring before dawn, and usually accompanied by symptoms such as coldness (cold body), cold limbs, and a pale complexion. Loose stools should be treated according to the different types of symptoms, under the guidance of the doctor to take the appropriate traditional Chinese medicine, diet and lifestyle modification, not self-medication.
