Damp-heat in the lower burner is a condition that is relatively common in the human body. It refers to damp-heat invading the lower burner, large intestine or bladder, with common clinical manifestations such as dribbling and burning urination or urinary retention, fishy and loose stools or constipation, lower abdominal distension and pain, or yellowish, white and fishy vaginal discharge, fever and thirst, heaviness and fatigue, red tongue with yellow and greasy coating, and a weak and rapid or slippery pulse.

The main treatment method is to clear away heat and dampness.

Causes

1. Damp-heat in the large intestine

It is mostly caused by improper diet, excessive consumption of rich food and strong wine, or invasion of the intestines by summer heat, dampness, epidemic toxins. It is a symptom of evil and the disease is located in the large intestine. Because damp-heat toxic evil accumulates in the large intestine, the Qi in the lower part of the body is stagnant, the conduction is abnormal, and Qi and blood are stagnant. When the stagnant heat blocks the intestines, it can cause visceral Qi obstruction and heat to flow sideways, resulting in vomiting, abdominal pain, dysentery, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, etc.

2. Bladder dampness and heat

It is often caused by eating too much fatty, sweet, spicy and hot food, or being addicted to alcohol, which leads to endogenous dampness and heat, or external invasion of dampness, heat and turbid evil, which deposits dampness and heat in the bladder, impaired bladder qi transformation, inability to distinguish clear from turbid, resulting in dysfunction of opening and closing and burns to the collaterals.

3. Dampness and heat in the uterus

It is mostly caused by the invasion of damp-heat evil toxins into the pelvic cavity, causing stagnation of qi and blood. The main cause of this disease is that the evil toxins invade the cell vessels and combine with septic blood, leading to further development. Due to the strong evil qi, internal accumulation of blood stasis and heat, and the fierce struggle between the righteous and evil, severe abdominal pain occurs, accompanied by high fever and chills.

The diet should be light, and eat less fatty, greasy foods, sweets, and spicy foods. This is to maintain good digestive function and avoid internal retention of dampness or entry of dampness from the outside. This is the key to preventing damp-heat. Especially quit smoking and drinking. Eat more foods that can remove dampness, such as mung beans, winter melon, loofah, red beans, watermelon, green tea, scented tea, lentils, coix seeds, etc.
