The stool is very loose and unformed

It is common to have loose and unformed stools. There are many reasons for this situation. The most common one is gastrointestinal dysfunction. In addition, if you suffer from colitis or enteritis, it may cause such symptoms. In daily life, in addition to strengthening dietary adjustments, if the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, and then use symptomatic medication for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good therapeutic effect in this regard.

The stool is very loose and unformed

Unformed stool refers to repeated stools that are soft and watery like mud, which disperses when exposed to water, or are accompanied by undigested food. Unformed stool is one of the typical symptoms of enteritis. Unlike diarrhea, the frequency of bowel movements may not increase, or may increase slightly;

Stool excretion is not smooth, or there is a feeling that the stool cannot be completely discharged, which means the stool is sticky and uncomfortable. The two can exist alone or alternately. If the stool is unformed for a long time and lasts for more than a week, it indicates an organic disease. In addition, unformed stool may also be related to drugs, emotional stress, food intolerance, abnormal colon motility, small intestinal dysfunction, and abnormal esophageal and gallbladder motility.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this falls into the category of "diarrhea", also known as "loose stools" or "soft stools". The essential reason is spleen deficiency and excessive dampness, among which spleen deficiency is the root cause and dampness is the symptom. Spleen deficiency can be divided into two types: spleen qi deficiency and spleen yang deficiency.

The spleen transports and transforms the essence of food and water, and is the exterior and interior of the stomach. The stomach is responsible for receiving food. Long-term eating disorders, fatigue, internal injuries, long-term illness and physical weakness can all lead to spleen and stomach qi deficiency, inability to receive food and water and transport and transform the essence of food, resulting in loose stools. Spleen Yang deficiency is often caused by eating raw and cold food, which directly leads to deficiency of Yang in the middle, or physical weakness due to long-term illness, or physical weakness and insufficient kidney Yang, which cannot warm the spleen and earth, resulting in abnormal transportation and transformation, and causing loose stools.

harm

Unformed stools may lead to a large loss of water, which will put the body in a state of dehydration, resulting in reduced blood volume, increased blood viscosity, slow blood flow, and easy formation of blood clots and blockage of blood vessels. Sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium can maintain the acid-base balance of the blood, nerve conduction function, and heart rhythm. The lack of these cations during diarrhea can cause serious heart rhythm disorders, which is more detrimental to the elderly with cardiovascular diseases.
