Two days ago, a patient came, said that his stool was very dry, smelly, very painful when defecation, and then sometimes the stool will be bloody, a little constipation, I have always thought it is irritable, I took a lot of moisturizing medicine, but it didn't work, and then I took medicine to moisturize the spleen and stomach, which had some effect, but soon recurred, and the constipation became more serious, and then I used external medicine to help laxative.
I asked some other questions, and he said that he felt a little angry, but the clear fire never cleared, and I checked his pulse, and found that the liver pulse was relatively fast, and then the spleen and stomach pulse were relatively short.
This is the characteristic of the liver and spleen, which shows that there is no problem with his spleen and stomach, but he has never understood the reason, and he has taken medicine indiscriminately, which has caused it to become more and more serious.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the liver qi rises and the liver fire normally occurs, these liver fires will follow the liver qi upward, resulting in redness and swelling of the eyes or bloodshot eyes, but the patient is uncomfortable before this, and there is also a condition of stagnation of liver qi, which causes the liver fire to not go up, and will only run rampant and violate the spleen.
The food residues that have been normally transported by the spleen and stomach will have water when they enter the intestine, which is the premise of the peristalsis of the large intestine to expel these residues. However, the liver fire will cause heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, and these heat will evaporate the fluid in the food residues, and when the food residues enter the intestines, they will be relatively dry. However, there is fluid in the intestines, so at first the patient has normal bowel movements, but because the dry arrows are relatively dry and hard, they will feel a little painful during bowel movements.
Later, the patient felt that it was irritable and dry spleen and stomach, so he took moisturizing medicines, which would replenish some fluid, but did not fundamentally solve the problem, so he began to relapse as soon as the drug was stopped.
To solve the problem, it is necessary to completely remove the liver fire, this patient's liver depression and liver fire are one, directly with gentian laxative liver decoction can be removed, the patient took some medicine according to the prescription, and when he came to the follow-up visit, the feedback has basically returned to normal. Therefore, such a common problem cannot be taken for granted as a spleen and stomach problem, otherwise, it is you who suffers.
