Some female friends sometimes lose their appetite, which is actually related to a deficiency of the spleen. The editor below will introduce some symptoms of spleen deficiency to female friends, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.
Symptoms of Spleen Deficiency in Women
1. Eye Bags
If the function of the spleen and stomach is disordered or weakened, it will lead to poor transportation and transformation of water and dampness. The skin and muscles will then lack nourishment and lose their elasticity. Over time, this can cause drooping eyelids and eventually the formation of eye bags. When eye bags are prominent, it may be a sign of spleen deficiency.
2. Changes in Tongue Coating
A healthy tongue should be red and look moist. In the summer, people with dampness in the spleen often feel a sticky sensation in the mouth and a dull, sallow complexion. Additionally, if there are obvious tooth marks on the edges of the tongue, it indicates a problem with the body's functions. If the tongue coating is white, thick, and slippery and moist, it indicates cold in the body. If the coating is rough, thick, yellow, and greasy, it indicates damp-heat. If the tongue body is red and without coating, it indicates a high level of heat in the body.
3. Poor Appetite
Most people experience a decrease in appetite and digestive function in the hot and humid summer environment. However, some people are not affected and have a strong sense of hunger, yet feel bloated after eating. This is also a sign of a strong stomach but a weak spleen.
4. Discomfort Upon Waking
If you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a heavy head upon waking in the morning, it indicates a disorder and weakness in the spleen and stomach functions. The functions of the spleen and lungs are mutually influential. When spleen deficiency reaches a certain point, the lung's qi is not nourished, which can easily lead to symptoms of shortness of breath and lung qi deficiency.
5. Abnormal Stool
If the stool is soft, sticky, or pasty, it is a symptom of spleen dampness, indicating abnormal digestive function.
6. Edema or False Obesity
People with heavy dampness may also experience a significant weight gain in a short period, and in severe cases, problems such as edema in the lower limbs may occur.
90% of obese people have a weak constitution. This physical weakness is caused by the weakening and decline of the spleen and stomach functions. It leads to a slower metabolism, decreased vitality, and a reduced ability to consume nutrients. The nutrients that cannot be consumed accumulate in the body, leading to obesity.
