There is something somewhat embarrassing to talk about, but it truly affects people's mood and health, and that is constipation! Constipation is very common in today's society, and it is related to long-term poor lifestyle habits, psychological factors, intestinal problems, dietary habits, and so on. Common symptoms of constipation include reduced frequency of bowel movements, difficulty in defecation, hard and small stools, often accompanied by discomfort such as abdominal bloating and loss of appetite.
In traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, constipation can mainly be divided into four types: heat constipation, qi constipation, cold constipation, and deficiency constipation.
Clinical symptoms: dry and hard stools, short and reddish urination, flushed face and irritability, sometimes body heat, dry mouth and bad breath, abdominal distension and fullness, pain upon pressing, red tongue with yellow or dry yellow coating, slippery and rapid pulse. In cases of gastrointestinal heat accumulation, the tongue is often red and dry, with a yellow dry coating or prickles.
Cause: The gastrointestinal tract is inherently dry and hot, and excessive consumption of alcohol and greasy, spicy foods leads to more severe accumulation of heat in the stomach and intestines, depleting fluids and damaging body fluids, causing the intestines to lose nourishment and resulting in dry, hard stools.
