What are the symptoms of gastrointestinal damp-heat

Damp-heat in the stomach and intestines can cause many types of problems, such as common acne, bitter, dry and bad breath in the mouth, sticky stools, wet scrotum, etc. What's worse, it can cause patients to suffer from liver and gallbladder diseases. So if you find yourself with the above symptoms, during the treatment process, you can check whether it is caused by damp-heat in the stomach and intestines, so that you can better prescribe the right medicine and recover soon!

1. Acne

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called acne. The root cause is damp heat that causes phlegm to coagulate and blood stasis, forming acne. If not treated in time, it will become purulent and form acne. The reason why people with damp-heat constitution are more susceptible to these diseases is because the dampness and heat in the body are too strong, and the body instinctively sends signals to people, causing acne or suppuration.

2. Bitter, dry, and foul breath, red and short urine, and sticky stools

Some people have bitter, dry and bad breath in their mouths, bloating, underarm odor, and an irritable temperament, all because of dampness and heat in the body. People with damp-heat constitution have short and dark red urine and sticky stools that stick to the toilet and cannot be flushed away. Since dampness and heat mainly damage the spleen and stomach, there will be symptoms such as poor appetite, bad breath, and dry mouth. If the spleen does not function properly, it will inevitably affect the excretion function, so there will be symptoms such as yellow or red urine, and dry or sticky stools.

3. Wet scrotum

Modern urbanites have irregular living habits and like to stay up late, go to bars, drink, and smoke, which can easily aggravate their damp-heat constitution. If you do not change your lifestyle habits, your damp-heat constitution will be very harmful. You will easily get the more difficult cholecystitis and prostatitis. Women are prone to vaginitis, and men have "wet scrotum", all of which are very difficult to heal. In addition, there are many other reasons, such as long-term mental stress, humid living environment, frequent drinking, etc. Of course, the root cause is still a damp and hot constitution.

4. Hepatobiliary diseases

Patients with cholecystitis usually experience a series of symptoms such as chest tightness, abdominal distension, bitter taste in the mouth, and nausea. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, the reasons are poor emotional balance, liver qi disorder, spleen dysfunction, and excessive dampness and heat in the body. To put it simply, it is because the moisture and heat in the body are higher than normal, which erodes the liver and gallbladder. In fact, the function of the liver and gallbladder is to be responsible for the excretion of the human body. If it is surrounded by dampness and heat, it will lead to obstructed excretion, constipation, etc. If it continues to develop, it will cause red and short urine, prostate disease and gynecological diseases.
