Causes of frequent bowel movements with loose stool

The patient's condition may be due to weak intestines and spleen dampness, leading to increased frequency of bowel movements, loose stools, sticky feces, or difficulty cleaning with toilet paper. Spleen deficiency can cause indigestion, resulting in sugary-looking stools and impaired nutrient absorption. Strengthening the spleen and consuming more foods that help resolve dampness can aid in eliminating excess moisture from the body. Patients may also take traditional Chinese patent medicines to strengthen the spleen and stomach, quit smoking and alcohol, and avoid raw, cold, greasy, and spicy foods.
