Dr. He Haochen
Spleen deficiency with cold-dampness may lead to an enlarged lower abdomen. Spleen deficiency and coldness typically involve impaired metabolism of fluids and food, causing food stagnation in the abdominal area, which may result in bloating. Moreover, if dampness in the body is excessive, it may also lead to loose stools or increased fat accumulation in the lower abdomen.
