1. What are the causes of spleen fatigue?

  Due to irregular eating habits, or emotional stress damaging the spleen. The symptoms of spleen fatigue include indigestion, abdominal fullness, vomiting, acid regurgitation, and a sallow complexion. In severe cases, there may be constant pain in the abdomen and chest, loose stools, cold extremities, joint pain, gradual weight loss, due to long-term accumulation of wind and cold in the spleen and stomach, also known as cold fatigue. If the spleen is surgically removed (splenectomy), the body will lose some of its ability to produce protective antibodies and clear unnecessary bacteria from the blood. As a result, the body's ability to defend against infections will decrease. Not long after, other organs (primarily the liver) will enhance their ability to defend against infections to compensate for this loss, so the increased risk of infection will not last long.

2. What complications can spleen fatigue easily lead to?

  6. Abdominal distension, diarrhea, and delayed reaction. The spleen fails to function properly, leading to decreased appetite, feeling bloated after eating, or limb swelling, difficult urination, or loose stools, appearing intermittently. Accompanied by fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath, and a sallow complexion, the cause is insufficient spleen Qi, which cannot be properly transported, leading to decreased appetite and bloating after eating.

  5. If water and dampness are not transported, the limbs may swell, urination may be difficult, and stools may be loose. Due to insufficient transformation of the spleen, there is a lack of vital substances, leading to fatigue and weakness, and a sallow complexion. Spleen Qi sinking can cause prolapse of the uterus, rectum, and stomach prolapse, chronic diarrhea, and decreased appetite, feeling bloated after eating, a sinking sensation in the lower abdomen, fatigue, shortness of breath, and a sallow complexion, due to the failure of spleen Qi to rise, leading to bloating after eating, or diarrhea, abdominal sinking, and affecting other internal organs and causing prolapse.

  2. Due to insufficient spleen Qi, the spleen fails to transform properly, leading to deficiency of Qi and blood, resulting in decreased appetite, fatigue, and a sallow complexion. When the spleen fails to control blood, the complexion becomes pale or sallow, with decreased appetite, fatigue, shortness of breath, epistaxis, hematochezia, and excessive menstrual bleeding in women, or metrorrhagia, due to weak spleen Qi.

3. What are the typical symptoms of spleen fatigue?

  The main symptoms include muscle atrophy, fatigue of the limbs, decreased appetite, feeling bloated after eating, loose stools, and more. If the spleen fails to function properly, there will be a lack of blood substances, leading to blood deficiency, with symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, pale complexion, lips, tongue, and nails. Normal function of the spleen is necessary to provide sufficient nourishment for Qi, blood, and body fluids, ensuring that all organs and tissues in the body receive adequate nutrition. Conversely, if the spleen fails to function properly, the body's digestion and absorption will be impaired, leading to symptoms such as abdominal distension, loose stools, decreased appetite, fatigue, and emaciation, as well as insufficient Qi and blood.

4. How to prevent spleen fatigue

  1. Appropriately strengthen exercise and enhance physical fitness.

  2. Eat less and more meals; balanced nutrition.

  3. Maintain a certain level of vitamin C to reduce the occurrence of colds.

  4. Pay attention to body warming.

  5. Eat nutritious and easy-to-digest foods, eat foods with neutral taste and sweet or sweet and warm properties, eat foods with the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing yin.

  6. Avoid eating cold and cooling foods that are easy to damage the spleen. 2. Avoid eating heavy and greasy foods that are easy to block the transportation function of the spleen. 3. Avoid eating foods that are easy to remove phlegm and accumulate, which are easy to consume the spleen qi.

5. What kind of laboratory tests are needed for spleen fatigue

  Blood routine is the most general and basic blood test. Blood is composed of two main parts: liquid and formed elements. Blood routine tests the cellular part of blood. Blood has three different function cells - red blood cells (commonly known as red blood cells), white blood cells (commonly known as white blood cells), and platelets. By observing the changes in quantity and distribution, diseases can be judged. It is one of the commonly used auxiliary examination methods for doctors to diagnose diseases.

6. Dietary taboos for patients with spleen fatigue

  Main dishes, vegetables, and meat dishes such as fish and shrimp should be thoroughly cooked and burned to make them soft and easy to digest, which is conducive to absorption. Eat less rough and fibrous foods, and the food should be finely processed and nutritious. All kinds of food should be fresh and not stored for a long time to eat. Eat fresh vegetables and fruits with little fiber.

7. Conventional Methods of Western Medicine for Treating Spleen Fatigue
