What are the symptoms of a bad spleen and stomach?

I believe that when many people say that the spleen and stomach are not good, most of them are referring to a manifestation of poor digestion. The stomach is the main place for us to digest food, and when the stomach is diseased or in decline, the first symptom we can feel is that we can't digest the food we eat. This condition is especially prominent in the elderly, infants and young children, as well as people with long-term physical weakness.

Long-term indigestion, our body needs nutrients can not be timely replenished, the body will naturally be weakened, resistance to disease, making it easier for people to develop a variety of nutritional deficiencies. For the elderly, it will accelerate the aging of the body, for children, it will affect their physical and intellectual development, and for those who are physically weak, it will be more difficult to get well.


Modern medicine believes that indigestion caused by "bad spleen and stomach" is more often than not not a problem with the spleen, but a problem with the stomach, or a problem with the liver, gallbladder or pancreas. Therefore, in addition to the suspicion of stomach disease, poor digestion also needs to check whether the function of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas is normal.

According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), weakness of the spleen and stomach is directly related to the patient's physical weakness, and is also inextricably linked to the body being attacked by "external evils". According to the principle of diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, spleen and stomach weakness can be categorized into three types: spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency and spleen yin deficiency. In addition to indigestion, the main manifestations are:

1. Spleen qi deficiency: shortness of breath, dizziness, and unformed stools. What this patient needs is to strengthen the spleen and enhance qi, which can be regulated by Si Jun Zi Tang;

2, spleen yang deficiency: eat cold and greasy food stomach is uncomfortable, mainly reflected in the stomach cold. This kind of patient needs to warm the middle and disperse the cold, and can be adjusted with Lizhong Tang;

3, spleen yin deficiency: no appetite, stomach pain and bloating, acid reflux belching, mainly reflected in the stomach heat. This kind of patient needs to be sweet and light to support the spleen, can be used to Xiangsha Ping stomach pill to regulate.

People eat grains and cereals, we eat into the food need to spleen and stomach to digest, absorption, in order to send the nutrition to various organs, spleen and stomach is not good, the body will accordingly appear a series of reactions, affecting the health of our body. Below to understand the spleen and stomach weakness and what symptoms will appear.

1. People with a weak spleen and stomach experience poor mental performance. Spleen and stomach disharmony and disorder also tend to cause insomnia, forgetfulness, panic and slower reaction to appear;

2. Poor spleen and stomach can also lead to poor sleep quality, resulting in difficulty in falling asleep, excessive dreaming during sleep, and waking up easily during dreams;

3. Spleen and stomach disharmony, but also lead to the emergence of constipation, because we usually eat into the food, need to be transported through the spleen and stomach, the nutrients will be transmitted to the human body organs, but the spleen and stomach weakness, disharmony, resulting in insufficient power of the large intestine, so that the food can not be digested smoothly, will indirectly form the emergence of constipation;

4. People who have weak spleen and stomach and are not in harmony will also experience drooling while sleeping. According to Chinese medicine, drooling is spleen water, and when the spleen and stomach are not good, drooling will occur when sleeping is uncontrollable;

5. Dry, bloodless lips. It is also a manifestation of people with poor spleen and stomach, and some people also have peeling lips;

6. Spleen and stomach weakness, and people, the face will also be yellow, dull, easy to abdominal distension after meals, and even diarrhea, not to be able to timely treatment, over time, the whole person becomes yellow, listless.

Through the above introduction, we have a certain understanding of the symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness and disharmony, and understand the impact of poor spleen and stomach on our body, so usually pay attention to regular, reasonable diet, as well as some other matters that are not conducive to the health of the spleen and stomach.

Clinical manifestation symptoms of poor spleen and stomach can be divided into three main categories.

2, lack of vital energy: unhealthy transportation, low voice and shortness of breath, weakness of the limbs, movement of the gas falling in the waist and abdomen, prolapse of the anus, intestinal whining and abdominal distension, loose stools and frequent bowel movements, pale tongue, slow pulse.

4, deficiency of heart and spleen: yellowish color, little food and tiredness, shortness of breath and timidity, forgetfulness and anxiety, insomnia, women's menstrual irregularities, pale tongue and white moss, thin and weak pulse.

If you have any other questions, please "follow" my headline and I will answer them in detail.

When my husband was younger he just had a bad spleen and stomach, his lungs were not strong enough, he always had to cough a few times in the morning and he was very thin.

I can't eat cold food, and I don't dare to eat more meat, especially fat meat. If you eat some cold food, your stomach will hurt like hell, and you will have diarrhea, and after that, it will not hurt anymore, and you will have diarrhea several times a day, and your stools will not be shaped. At first, I thought it was enteritis! Ate a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, but no effect, and later with the Chinese medicine only to know is the spleen and stomach disharmony, recommended to eat the ginseng Ling Baijusan, the effect is good.

In order to his spleen and stomach, I also special with my classmates to learn a little foot massage, insist on giving him a foot massage. Don't i say, foot massage is really good, he has many years of stomach pain, not diarrhea, before a drink of milk on diarrhea, now milk yogurt casually drink. Eat meat can also eat, people also become fat.

Personally, I'm good for the spleen, and to summarize it simply - a good spleen doesn't hold farts!

A person with a healthy spleen and stomach never holds in his farts, and his bowel movements are very smooth and spontaneous. This is because our prana, for exhaustion and defecation, has an automatic recognition, that is to say, if it is the gas that should be eliminated, it will automatically relax the sphincter muscle to expel it, and if it is the one that shouldn't be eliminated, such as mixed with thin and watery stools, the prana will automatically tighten up in order to prevent the embarrassing event. And this innate ability, modern medical research suggests, is related to the large number of receptors in the upper anal canal.

Some people, on the other hand, have to hold their farts and dare not ventilate at will, because they can clearly perceive that once they do, what comes out along with it could be greatly embarrassing. There is a saying that "when your stomach hurts, don't trust any fart so easily"!

So how did this embarrassment come about?

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this is a malfunction of spleen transportation. The transportation and transformation of the spleen is a big concept, which includes the elimination of food by the stomach, the absorption of nutrients by the small intestine, and the pushing and elimination by the large intestine.

If the spleen is deficient, then dampness is abundant, and when dampness is injected into the intestines, it is easy for the stools to be thin and loose, which is manifested by the confusion of clearness and turbidity and the lack of dryness in the exhaust, and the stomach will often be upset, and there is often a feeling of defecation.

From this point of view, a person who has dry exhaust and never holds his breath, and who can pass it whenever he wants to, is indeed a sign of normal digestion and normalization of the spleen.

On the contrary, always holding back farts and stools, not daring to release them painfully, this may be a manifestation of the spleen's deficiency and dysfunction.

That's why a good spleen doesn't hold a fart!

What are the symptoms of a bad spleen and stomach?

Spleen is the foundation of the human body, the human body relies on the spleen to provide nutrients to the body, if the spleen is not good, it will directly affect the health of the human body. In daily life, if the spleen and stomach are diseased, it is easy to cause the following conditions, such as poor mental state, slow reaction, but also insomnia and dreamy, loss of appetite, thin stools, food residue, color pale and odorless. Diet to light, eat less spicy and stimulating food, yellowish color, there will be dry mouth and lips, hands and feet not warm and some other symptoms. In severe cases, there will be stomach and abdominal pain. Poor spleen and stomach will be obvious in the face color, eyes, nose, mouth and other aspects. The face is dull and yellowish, there is loss of appetite, stomach distension and diarrhea. Due to insufficient qi and blood, affecting the liver, there will be eye fatigue, redness, swelling, and obvious bags under the eyes. The nose dominates the spleen and the nose dominates the stomach. The nose is often red, indicating weakness of the spleen and stomach. The mouth will show bad breath, dry lips and bloodlessness. Some patients unconsciously flow delay while sleeping.

Symptoms of a bad spleen and stomach can include a dull, yellowish complexion, loss of appetite, bloating and diarrhea. Poor Spleen and Stomach is due to a deficiency of qi and blood, which affects the liver. Eye fatigue, visible bags under the eyes and bad breath as well as dry mouth may occur. Poor sleep quality, difficulty falling asleep and waking up with dreams may also occur during sleep. For more serious symptoms, you can go to the hospital for appropriate examination and treatment.

What we usually refer to as poor spleen and stomach generally refers to poor digestion and absorption, that is, the physiological function of the spleen and stomach is low. Bad spleen and stomach is mainly caused by uncontrolled diet, worrying and injuring the spleen, overwork, old age, physical weakness, and loss of nourishment after a long period of illness.

The spleen is the main transportation, the stomach is the main reception; the spleen qi is the main ascending, the stomach qi is the main descending; the spleen is wet and likes dry, the stomach is dry and likes wet. Both of them help each other in transportation, elevation, dryness and wetness, and work together to complete the digestion, absorption and transmission of food and drink. The pathology of the spleen is mainly due to digestive malfunction, water-dampness, phlegm-drinking stagnation, the spleen does not regulate blood, and the clear yang does not rise. Therefore, common symptoms of the spleen include not thinking about food, bloating after eating, tiredness, fatigue, emaciation or swelling of the limbs, yellowish color, abdominal distension and loose stools, excessive menstruation or blood in the stools, purpura of the skin, or prolapse of the internal organs, pale tongue with white coating, and a weak pulse. Stomach lesions are mainly due to dietary failure and gastric disorders, with common symptoms such as lack of desire for food and drink, gastric pain and liking to be pressed, vomiting, and eructation. In general, those who can eat and have a distended epigastric region after meals belong to spleen weakness; those who are anorexic but can digest after eating belong to stomach weakness.

Spleen and stomach diseases are also divided into cold, heat, deficiency and solidity. Spleen diseases are mostly characterized by deficiency, while stomach diseases are mostly characterized by solidity. The deficiency of spleen disease is mainly caused by spleen yang deficiency, spleen loss of healthy transportation, spleen deficiency, spleen does not control blood and phlegm-dampness; the solid evidence is mainly cold and dampness trapped spleen and spleen and stomach dampness and heat. Deficiency of the stomach is mostly due to deficiency of stomach yin; solid evidence is usually due to blazing stomach heat, gastrointestinal food stagnation, gastrointestinal qi stagnation and so on.

Spleen deficiency is a Chinese medicine term which refers to the manifestation when the function of the spleen is low or insufficient. Spleen deficiency is also categorized into spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, and spleen and kidney deficiency. Nowadays, there are more people with spleen qi deficiency and spleen yang, and it has a lot to do with their living habits. For example, not eating at night will easily lead to spleen qi deficiency. Eating cold ice-cream frequently will easily damage spleen yang.



Symptoms of Spleen Qi deficiency include weakness, less breath, reluctance to talk much, easy sweating, bloating of the stomach, scanty stools and frequent bowel movements. The color on the face is waxy and without luster. The pulse is weak and thin. You can use Sijunzi Tang to tonify the spleen and stomach, and then use Cangzhu, Houpu and Sha Ren to regulate if dampness is trapped. The acupoints are still the common foot-sanli points, and the reuse of moxibustion is also very effective.



Spleen-Yang deficiency is a manifestation of Yang deficiency on top of Spleen-Qi deficiency, and there will be teeth marks on the tongue. Usually the bowels have to be passed in the morning, and they are loose and unformed. The hands and feet are cold and the stomach aches easily when drinking cold water. The Chinese medicine Lizhong Pill is a basic formula, and in the case of severe yang deficiency, it also involves the use of epiphyllum.



It should be noted that the spleen needs to be nourished for a long time, and the meal should be a combination of meat and vegetables, not because the meat is delicious, just eat meat. The result is weight gain, but also hurt the spleen and stomach.

According to Chinese medicine, the spleen plays a very important role in the human body. Spleen deficiency refers to the weakness of the spleen, which can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. This is because, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the normal functioning of other organs in the body relies on the spleen's healthy support, which shows the importance of the spleen.

Whether the spleen is healthy or not can be judged by various symptoms in the body. Generally speaking, people with a weak spleen will experience the following symptoms.

I. Symptoms of a weak spleen

The first symptom is a whitish tongue color and a thinner tongue.Chinese medicine pay attention to looking and sniffing, I believe that many people who have been to see a Chinese medicine practitioner know that many Chinese medicine practitioners will be through the observation of changes in the tongue to determine whether the body is healthy, the health of the spleen is no exception will be shown through the tongue, in general, the spleen of the healthy people tongue color is red, if you observe that the tongue color has become whiter and the tongue coating has become thinner, it shows that the spleen is weaker.

The second symptom isI still feel sleepy after waking up in the morning, I have no energy, and I even feel a sinking feeling in my chestThis is a symptom of a weak spleen, because a weak spleen affects the health of the lungs, which means that there is chest tightness. Normally, people who get enough sleep feel very energetic, while those with a weak spleen don't want to get up because they feel very tired when they get up.

The third symptom isNo appetite, never feel hungry, don't feel like eating. The digestion and absorption function of a person with a weak spleen is affected because the spleen is involved in digesting and absorbing all kinds of food and water eaten by the human body, which is then converted into nutrients to be absorbed by the human body, and when the function of digestion and absorption is affected, the person also has all kinds of problems of poor appetite.

The fourth symptom isDampness in the body is heavy, and the body appears to be edematous and fat. People with a weak spleen are prone to heavy dampness, making the body appear edema symptoms. Moreover, due to a weak spleen, nutritional metabolism will also be affected, and after energy consumption is reduced, the body accumulates a lot of undigested capacity, and when there is a lot of accumulation, obesity will occur, which is also caused by the weakness of the spleen.

Spleen is an important organ of the human body, once the problem occurs, the body will then present many symptoms, and Chinese medicine, spleen is not healthy, from the five senses of the changes can be seen.

Second, 3 ways to see spleen health from the five senses

The first thing to do is to look at the ears. As a weak spleen can lead to the health of the body's kidneys, causing a deficiency of kidney qi.Patients usually present with tinnitus, and in severe cases, people may even go deaf.

Secondly, look at the nose, the meridians of the spleen are connected to the nose, if the spleen is not good, the nose is bound to be abnormal.For example, if your nasal passages feel dry, your nose bleeds, or you have a runny nose., all of which can be caused by a bad spleen.

Finally, a bad spleen can also cause a deficiency of qi and blood, which can further affect the health of the liver.In Chinese medicine, the liver opens the orifices of the eyes, and if the spleen is not good, there will be problems with the eyes, such as eyes that tire easily, appear red and swollen, or have trouble seeing.

I believe we all understand the importance of spleen health, therefore, for the sake of your health, you must always pay attention to your physical condition, and if there is any abnormality, be alert to the fact that it is a spleen problem.

Thank you, the spleen and stomach is not good people tend to show in the body, I think there are five: the first diet: spleen and stomach weak people, no matter what the situation, the first will be shown in the diet. Summarized is "two less and one more": eat less, absorb less, pull more. There is no appetite, and then the delicious food is shallow, obviously eat less, but feel bloated; food and then nutritious, people are also increasingly thin; stools more often, diarrhea and loose stools are common shortcomings; these conditions, most of the spleen deficiency caused by the need to pay attention to the scheduling of the body; the second sleep: weak spleen and stomach, sleep has two kinds of perhaps. One is "not awake", the first is not able to raise the energy to, all day drowsiness doze off, not pay attention to fall asleep; one is "not able to sleep", although there is a feeling of dizziness, but it is difficult to sleep after tossing and turning, very difficult to sleep, but often After it is very difficult to fall asleep, it is often woken up by dreams. These two conditions are not contradictory, generally the former is attributed to the spleen qi yang deficiency, the latter is attributed to the spleen blood deficiency, the need to identify the scheduling; the third energy: spleen and stomach weakness of people, the energy state is not good is the norm. Moreover, most of the "tired of moving less" is the main, that is, do not want to move, even if the day is very active people, will also like to quiet up. The brain is dizzy and unorganized, attention can not be set and so on. Lying down, squatting and then stand up, there will be dizziness, in short, most of a "functional decline" tendency; fourth hair: due to the "spleen produces blood blood, the main muscles and limbs" reason, so, to be suspected by ourselves when the spleen and stomach weakness, most of the There is a lack of qi and blood biochemistry. At this time, nails, nails will not have the usual glossy luster, lips are also pale white, no normal kind of "red lips". After a long time, there will be hair yellow and sparse, etc.; these are the spleen and stomach weakness, the lack of qi and blood caused by the fifth dampness: "Spleen deficiency birth dampness", this is what we now say a lot of words. Dampness will bring many small shortcomings to the body. The root of the problem is that most of them are still caused by "spleen deficiency and dampness". After the spleen deficiency of dampness, the body will have a "heavy" feeling, in simple terms, is "dragging feet", people are also prone to fat, pale color, loose stools are not shaped, difficult to flush and so on!
