The relationship between dysentery and dysentery and disease names in western medicine

The content discussed in this section is mainly based on bacterial dysentery and amoebic dysentery in western medicine, but clinical symptoms such as ulcerative colitis, radiation colitis, bacterial food poisoning, etc., which are similar to dysentery described in this section, can be used. Refer to this section for dialectical treatment.

disease cause

1. Evil when exogenous

The disease is mostly caused by the feeling of seasonal evils. The nature of the evils is three: one is the evil of epidemic poisoning, which invades the stomach and intestines, and the disease is sudden, forming the epidemic poisoning; the second is the evil of hot and humid. Damp stagnation and hot steaming, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and dampness-heat dysentery; third, summer and cold sensation, cold and dampness, gastrointestinal discomfort, qi and blood stagnation, and stagnation and coldness.

2. Unclean diet (section)

Usually eat fat and thick taste, or eat rotten and unclean things by mistake, produce hot and humid, or eat cold melon and fruit in summer and summer, damage the spleen and stomach, be trapped in the center, hot and cold or damp, the evil content of food accumulation, intestines Qi block, qi stagnation and blood stasis, fight with rot in the intestine, turn into pus and blood, and cause the disease.

disease machine

Diseases are located in the large intestine, are related to the spleen and stomach, and can involve the kidneys. The pathological factors are mainly the hot and humid epidemic virus, and the pathological properties are cold and heat. The basic pathogenesis is intestinal dysentery caused by evil, stagnation of qi and blood, loss of conduction, and injury from fat. Pathological properties: Most of the initial evidence is due to damp heat or cold. The next day is long and can be changed from real to virtual or mixed with virtual and real. Pathological evolution: Damp-heat epidemic invades, poison spreads inside, fumigates intestines, consumes blood, and becomes epidemic poison. Such as dysentery is incurable, it is delayed for a long time, or it is too early to close the astringent, and it is closed to stay in the army, and it is true and evil.

Essentials of Dysentery Diagnosis

Basis of diarrhea diagnosis

1. Symptoms include abdominal pain, severe anxiety, increased stool frequency, and discharge of red and white pus and blood.

2. The onset of dysentery is sudden and short, and it may be accompanied by chills and fever. The chronic dysentery has a slow onset, recurrence, and persistence; the epidemic and dysentery is severe and dangerous, and it is common in children. When abdominal pain and diarrhea have not yet appeared, there is high fever and fatigue, cold limbs, pale gray, superficial breathing, fainting and convulsions, and diarrhea and vomiting are not necessarily serious.

3. There is a history of unhealthy diet; acute onset occurs mostly at the turn of summer and autumn, and can occur in all seasons.

disease identification

Dysentery and diarrhea

The two are more common in summer and autumn. The disease location is in the stomach and intestines. The etiology is also similar. The symptoms are abdominal pain and increased stool frequency. However, diarrhea is caused by frequent and small stools. And the diarrhea stool is thin, the stool is thin, or it is like water, or the valley is not melted, and there is no red and white pus and bloody stool. Abdominal pain is often accompanied by bowel sounds. Under certain conditions, diarrhea and dysentery can transform each other, or diarrhea first, and then diarrhea. It is generally believed that the condition of diarrhea first and then diarrhea worsens, and the condition of diarrhea first and then diarrhea decreases.

Dysentery- related tests

Regular stool and blood tests. Stool culture of pathogenic bacteria is the key to a confirmed diagnosis. If necessary, X-ray barium and colonoscopy can help differential diagnosis.

Dialectical treatment of dysentery

3.Distinguish gas and blood

The lower diarrhea is more white and less red, and wet evil hurts Qi; the red is more white and less, or those with blood as the main, heat evil hurts blood.

Dysentery treatment principles

The heat is clear, the cold is warm, the first is real, and the long-empty is supplemented. The cold and hot interlaced are used in combination with cooling, and the false and real are mixed. At the beginning of dysentery, it is common to use evidence and heat to clear away heat and detoxify; for a long time, deficiency and cold syndrome should be supplemented with deficiency temperature, conditioning the spleen and stomach, and clearing the intestines, collecting astringent solids. As shown below, those who have both evidence should be combined with anti-removal agents, dredging outside and inside, and stagnation can be combined with antidote to eliminate the stagnation. Liu Hejian proposed: "Regulating Qi then removes itself, and the blood will pus self-heal." The method of regulating Qi and blood can be used for multiple syndromes of dysentery, red blood is used multiple times, white blood is used multiple times. . In the process of mastering the dialectical treatment of relieving the evil, we should always take care of the stomach qi.

At the same time, we should distinguish the severity of the disease according to its clinical manifestations, determine the prognosis of the patient, and pay special attention to observe its fiery poison, whether the stomach gas is deteriorating, whether Yin and Jin are exhausted, and whether Yang Qi is depleted. Generally speaking, those who can eat are lighter than those who cannot. The diarrhea is accompanied by fever, thirst, irritability, shortness of breath, or even dizzy slang. Although the frequency of diarrhea is reduced, those with abdominal distension such as drums are common in the epidemic poison and hot and humid heat.
