What are the symptoms of a bad spleen in women?

Women's bodies need special protection because women's special physique is more fragile than men's, and they have almost no resistance to external stimuli. Women are also prone to internal diseases. For example, women's spleen is a very fragile part and is prone to inflammation. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of poor spleen in women. I hope women can protect their health.

1. Malnutrition, weight loss or obesity

The spleen has a direct relationship with the functioning of the body. Some people eat well and have a reasonable diet structure, but are still malnourished. This is mostly due to weak spleen and stomach. Some people have a good appetite and can eat a lot, but are thin and look old. This is due to a strong stomach and weak spleen. Western medicine gives people calcium tablets and protein powder when they see they are malnourished, while traditional Chinese medicine strengthens the spleen and stomach functions of the human body. In fact, long-term use of various nutritional tablets and nutritional powders will further weaken the spleen's transportation and transformation functions.

2. Heaviness of limbs and depression

The spleen controls the muscles. The temper is full, the muscles are plump and lively, and the face is lively and energetic. On the contrary, children with spleen deficiency will have symptoms of weak spleen and stomach, stiff facial muscles, soreness, fatigue and even atrophy of muscles all over the body, heavy limbs and easy fatigue, and mental depression. Many psychological illnesses are related to spleen deficiency.

3. Bad breath, rough at first

Some symptoms of the spleen can also be manifested in the mouth. The spleen is connected to the mouth, and if the spleen is sufficient, one can taste the five grains. People with strong spleen qi have no odor when they exhale, and can taste the fragrance in the food they eat. People with weak spleen have white and rough lips, which are symptoms of weak spleen and stomach. Their breath has a strong odor and their food has no taste. If cold stagnates in the spleen, the lips will be purple or black.

4. Anemia and gingival atrophy

Spleen deficiency can cause blood to not circulate through the meridians, which can cause bleeding with various symptoms. The spleen has the function of producing blood, and spleen deficiency can easily lead to anemia. When the spleen is strong, the blood will be abundant. There are two most common causes of spleen deficiency: one is eating, and the other is thinking. Eating too much cold food, cold fruits, and overeating can damage the spleen. "Thinking hurts the spleen." Thinking too much can also hurt the spleen. The reason why many people suffer from diarrhea is that they do not know how to balance work and rest, and overuse of the brain leads to spleen deficiency. The spleen and stomach are exterior and interior to each other. The spleen is responsible for ascending, and the stomach is responsible for descending. The stomach is responsible for descending water and food to facilitate digestion; the spleen qi rises, so that nutrients can be delivered to the lungs, and the lungs then deliver nutrients to other organs. The spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, while the stomach likes moisture and hates dryness. If the spleen is weak for too long, the upper gums will shrink; if the stomach is weak for too long, the lower gums will shrink. The rising and falling Qi of the spleen and stomach is called Zhong Qi, which is the hub of Qi in the whole body.
