Evil dampness and heat invade the intestines, obstructing the flow of Qi. If Qi stagnates, it will cause abdominal pain and bloating. Dampness and heat invade the intestines. Qi is disordered, the clear and turbid cannot be distinguished, and the fluid tends to flow downward, resulting in violent intestinal bleeding; dampness and heat are accumulated internally, damaging the intestinal network, and bloody diarrhea is caused due to stasis and heat.

When damp-heat and epidemic toxins invade the intestines, the intestinal qi is blocked, which causes intermittent abdominal pain and the desire to have diarrhea, but the bowel movement is not smooth, the anus is heavy and has a sign of tenesmus.

When the damp-heat evaporates to the outside, the body becomes hot. When the heat evil damages the body fluid and diarrhea consumes the fluid, the person becomes thirsty and has short yellow urine. The tongue is red, the tongue coating is yellow and greasy, and the pulse is slippery and rapid, which are signs of internal accumulation of damp-heat.
