Spleen is one of the five internal organs of the human body, and it is also one of the important organs in the human body, so spleen deficiency will be called "the source of all diseases", and the term spleen deficiency is a technical term of traditional Chinese medicine, which generally refers to the pathological symptoms of spleen dysfunction caused by spleen deficiency.
So how should patients tell whether they have spleen deficiency? See if your body has the following seven symptoms. If so, it means that you have spleen deficiency.
1, abnormal tongue coating, abnormal lip coating
First of all, the most intuitive phenomenon is that the patient's tongue coating is pale white, while the lip color is purple and cracked, because the tongue coating and lips of normal people are basically reddish or red. However, if the patient's body is in a state of spleen deficiency, the tongue coating will become thicker and whiter, and the tongue will be serrated. Generally, this symptom is called red tongue in clinic, which is an extremely abnormal manifestation of tongue coating, and obviously reminds patients of spleen deficiency.
2, cold hands and feet
It is also very common for patients with spleen deficiency to have cold feet. Because of spleen deficiency, the patient is weak. Spleen deficiency will lead to the imbalance of nutrient absorption in patients, so patients will be deficient in qi and blood and their cold resistance will be relatively weakened. Therefore, spleen deficiency not only easily leads to cold hands and feet, but also often leads to poor blood circulation.
3. Stools
Patients with spleen deficiency will find abnormal stool when defecating. Because of the poor transportation ability of patients with spleen deficiency, a large amount of water in the body cannot be discharged. Therefore, patients will find a large amount of water in the stool when defecating, and the discharged stool is basically shapeless and very sticky.
4. Obesity
Patients with spleen deficiency are generally obese, because spleen deficiency will actually cause obstacles to the synthesis of nutrients, and too much water in the body will also affect the metabolism and consumption of nutrients, so these nutrients will accumulate too much in patients, which will lead to obesity. Moreover, the spleen function of patients with spleen deficiency will be damaged to a certain extent, which will affect the flow of body fluids, and the garbage and toxins in the body will not be excreted in time, which will gradually accumulate and lead to obesity.
5. Abnormal leucorrhea
Abnormal leucorrhea is a point that female patients need special attention. Because from the perspective of Chinese medicine, many female patients have increased leucorrhea or other abnormalities, mostly caused by spleen deficiency. Spleen deficiency will not only affect leucorrhea, but also affect menstrual flow and menstrual regularity. And if the patient is not treated for a long time, it will cause uterine shedding in severe cases, so female patients with spleen deficiency must pay attention.
6. Loss of appetite
Spleen is the most important digestive gland in human body, so something wrong with spleen will directly affect digestive function. Therefore, spleen deficiency will cause patients not to eat. In severe cases, there will be not only loss of appetite, but also symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.
7. Increased saliva secretion
It is normal for children to drool while sleeping, and it is normal for adults to only occasionally increase saliva secretion. However, if the saliva secretion of adults often increases, it may be spleen deficiency, because under normal circumstances, the water of adults will not leak out. Only when the spleen function stops taking saliva, adults will suddenly have symptoms of increased saliva secretion.
To sum up, patients with spleen deficiency will not only have decreased immunity, but also lead to daily emaciation, fatigue, lack of qi and blood, and listlessness. Therefore, protecting the spleen is very important. In daily life, patients should maintain a happy mental state and exercise more. The diet should also be healthy and green, not spicy with heavy oil, and try to drink less and smoke less.
