Key Points for Diagnosis:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) classifies hematochezia into several categories. Heat and toxins are categorically similar to biomedical discernments of inflammation. TCM related dampness may also correlate to biomedically defined inflammation as well as suppurative lesions. Blood stasis in the TCM system relates, in part, to biomedically defined scarring, congealed tissue and poor circulation. TCM also recognizes exogenous external pathogens, dietary imbalances, stress and qi deficiency fatigue as related factors. Classical TCM texts classify hematochezia in the same categories as dysentery, diarrhea, and/or intestinal wind.

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.
