Dampness in the body often presents with the following symptoms:
1. Fatigue: Excessive dampness can cause general fatigue and weakness, leaving one feeling low on energy. This fatigue may persist even after sufficient rest.
2. Digestive problems: Excessive dampness may lead to reduced appetite, abdominal bloating, and indigestion. It can also be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea.
3. Joint discomfort: Accumulation of dampness in the body may cause joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, with symptoms often worsening during humid weather.
Dampness can significantly affect health, and if left unimproved for a long time, it may lead to other health issues. If the above symptoms occur, timely medical consultation is recommended for professional diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, adjustments to diet and lifestyle are important to reduce the effects of dampness.
