Essentials for diagnosis 
(1) Pain mainly occurs in the region below the epigastrium and above the pubis including the two sides of umbilicus.

(2) The disease may be accompanied by other symptoms of splenogastric diseases like anorexia, nausea, vomiting and irregular defecation, but, without the general symptoms of fever, headache, body pain, cough, asthma, skin eruption, etc.

(3) The abdomen may have tenderness, but no muscular tension and rebounding tenderness.

(4) Most patients have the history of improper diet or catching cold.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
