Introduction
Decreased interest in food, absence of significant hunger during meals, and even picky eating or loss of appetite may occur. Even favorite foods often fail to stimulate the desire to eat, resulting in a noticeable reduction in food intake. After eating, a feeling of fullness in the stomach and abdomen occurs quickly and may persist for a prolonged period. Noticeable discomfort can develop even after consuming only small amounts of food, affecting normal activities.
Generally, symptoms of spleen deficiency in men may include reduced appetite, abdominal distension after meals, easy fatigue, loose stools, and weight loss. If any abnormalities occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Reduced Appetite: Decreased interest in food, no obvious hunger during meals, and even picky eating or loss of appetite. Even favorite foods may fail to stimulate the desire to eat, resulting in significantly decreased food intake.
2. Abdominal Distension After Meals: Feeling full and bloated in the stomach and abdomen shortly after eating, with the sensation lasting for a prolonged period. Even after consuming small amounts of food, noticeable discomfort may occur, affecting normal activities.
3. Easy Fatigue: Feeling tired and weak even after slight physical activity, with heavy limbs and lack of energy. Vitality is difficult to restore even after sufficient rest, and one often lacks motivation for daily tasks.
4. Loose Stools: Stools are unformed and relatively thin, sometimes appearing paste-like. Bowel movements may increase in frequency, and symptoms tend to worsen after consuming greasy or cold foods.
5. Weight Loss: Due to weakened digestion and absorption functions, nutrients cannot be fully utilized, making it difficult for the body to store energy. The body may become thin, with less muscular definition and weight below the normal range.
If the above symptoms appear, attention should be paid to maintaining regular eating habits, avoiding overeating, and consuming less raw, cold, and greasy foods. One may appropriately eat more spleen-nourishing foods such as millet and pumpkin. At the same time, maintain moderate physical activity and avoid excessive fatigue.
