Don't be shy! Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you to diagnose diseases through secretions

Humans have a lot of secretions, such as phlegm, vomit, leucorrhea, nasal discharge, earwax, and so on. We should not underestimate them, they can help us identify diseases. The ancients said: "All diseases must be examined from below", that is to say, when doctors treat patients, they must not only check the patient's "five internal organs" and "six bowels", but also observe the patient's urination and defecation. The experience of the ancients has been recognized by modern medicine. Doctors now diagnose diseases by testing patients' urine and feces, which has become a common diagnostic method in the medical process. In fact, not only urine and feces, but also many other secretions and excretions of the human body, such as sputum, vomit, leucorrhea, nasal discharge, earwax, stinging fluid, odor, etc., can reflect the health status of the human body. As long as you pay attention to their changes, you can have a good idea of ​​the health status of yourself or others.

Sweat

Glandular fluid is a liquid secreted by the glandular glands in the skin. The glandular glands throughout the body can secrete about 500 to 1000 ml of glandular fluid every day. More than 950% of Ting is water, and a small part contains urea, uric acid, lactic acid, inorganic salts, etc. The basic composition is similar to that of urine. Statin is closely related to human physiology and pathology, and it can regulate body temperature and body fluids. Excrete waste from the body and keep the skin surface acidic to prevent some bacteria from harming the human body.

Invasion. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood and sweat have the same origin" and that Ting is an important part of the human body that cannot be ignored. The "Inner Canon of Medicine" clearly points out that "sweat is the fluid of the heart". Through sweat, we can understand the condition of the disease and prescribe the right medicine. Modern medicine believes that the absence of statins or abnormal statins production are both manifestations of disease.

1. No sweat

Such patients often feel that the skin in a certain part of the body or the whole body is abnormally dry. They do not see dry skin all year round, have white dandruff falling off, and dry and cracked skin can be seen in autumn and winter. Dry skin syndrome is mostly secondary to certain systemic diseases or skin diseases (such as ichthyosis, psoriasis, scleroderma, and also seen in vitamin deficiency and myxedema). In a very small number of patients, it is caused by congenital abnormalities, and some are caused by drugs (such as atropine).

2. Night sweats

When sleeping, Ting comes out, and when waking up, Ting sweats, which is called Ting theft. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tuberculosis is accompanied by fatigue, cough, chest pain, loss of appetite, irregular menstruation, fever, hemoptysis, etc. This is a manifestation of yin deficiency, which is generally more common in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. In addition, patients after surgery, pregnant women, and women after artificial abortion may experience temporary autonomic nervous system disorders due to their very weak constitution due to blood loss, resulting in abnormal opening and closing of the urethra, leakage of urethral fluid, and urethral theft. These are all normal phenomena.

3. Spontaneous sweating

Spontaneous sweating refers to frequent and persistent sweating that is worse after activity and is accompanied by fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spontaneous sweating is mostly caused by Qi deficiency and weak Wei Yang. It can also be seen in the recovery period of serious illness. Due to extremely weak physical constitution, spontaneous sweating often occurs in a quiet state.

4. Excessive sweating

Excessive sweating is often caused by:

1. Excessive sweating accompanied by palpitations, bulging eyes, excitement, irritability, frightened eyes, fear of heat, etc. are common in hyperthyroidism.

2. If you sweat when you move a little, or sweat even when you are not moving, it is either a sign of obesity or a weak constitution. Menopause may also occur in older women.

3. Some young people sweat a lot, which is caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction during puberty.

4. Sudden sweating after taking certain medicines is caused by the effects of the medicines. For example, organophosphorus pesticides, lead, mercury, arsenic, etc. can all cause excessive sweating after poisoning.

5. Hypoglycemia caused by hypoglycemia is often accompanied by dizziness, fatigue, and obvious hunger.

5. The Great Khan

It refers to the continuous dripping of diaphoretic fluid, which is more common in hot summer or in people working in high temperatures, when the internal heat is too strong, or when excessive doses of diaphoretic drugs are taken. If this phenomenon occurs, the causes should be identified and dealt with accordingly. At the same time, you should drink plenty of sugar water to avoid collapse after taking it. If the sweat is heavy and accompanied by shortness of breath, fatigue, cold limbs, and a weak pulse, Chinese medicine believes that it is a dangerous sign that the yang energy is about to be exhausted, the vital energy is about to be lost, and the body fluids are about to be lost with the qi, so it is called "jue sweat".

6. Cold sweat

"Coldness" often occurs when a person's emotions are suddenly stimulated or overly tense, such as panic caused by excessive excitement or fright, and the person becomes pale and has cold limbs.
