Of course, if you can master some relevant knowledge and understand the causes and solutions of loose stools, you can check the causes yourself, and then make corresponding physical adjustments based on the causes to improve the symptoms of loose stools.

1. What is the reason for frequent loose stools?

1. Stools that are loose and dark yellow and sticky are mostly caused by damp heat in the intestines;

2. Watery stools with undigested food are usually caused by cold and dampness, and are usually seen in patients with diarrhea.

3. If the stool is sticky and jelly with pus and blood, it is dysentery. If the stool is white, it means the disease is in the Qi. If the stool is red, it means the disease is in the blood. If the stool is a mixture of red and white, it means both the Qi and blood are ill.

4. If the stool is rice water-like in color, large in volume, frequent in frequency, and accompanied by vomiting, the possibility of cholera or paracholera should be considered.

5. Blood in stool is a symptom of gastrointestinal bleeding. Blood comes out first and then comes out. If the blood is dark brown, it is distant blood. It can be seen in diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, liver cirrhosis, esophageal and gastric fundus varicose vein rupture bleeding, and gastric cancer.

2. Symptoms of loose stools

Improper living habits, such as air conditioning, cold drinks, meat, lack of exercise, and mental stress, can cause common symptoms such as loose stools (normal stools should be golden yellow like bananas); or sticky stools that often stick to the toilet bowl and are difficult to flush away; or the buttocks can never be wiped clean and require a lot of paper. In addition to unformed stools, most of these people have the following symptoms: being overweight, having cold hands and feet, having a thick white tongue coating with teeth marks, not liking to get up in the morning, not having time for exercise, and feeling sleepy easily after meals. If a person has the above symptoms but no other discomfort, Chinese medicine will most likely diagnose and treat it as spleen deficiency and dampness. If the spleen is weak, food cannot be digested well, resulting in unformed stools, which is called loose stools in traditional Chinese medicine and chronic colitis in Western medicine.
