Bacillary Dysentery

Dysentery, the name of TCM disease. It is clinically characterized by dysentery, red and white pus, abdominal pain, and tenesmus. The main cause is the pathogenic virus from exogenous infection, internal injury and unclean diet. The disease is located in the intestine and is closely related to the spleen and stomach. The pathogenesis is damp heat, epidemic toxins, cold dampness in the intestines, stagnation of qi and blood, damage to the lipid membrane and blood collaterals, turning into pus and blood, loss of conduction in the large intestine, and dysentery. The violent dysentery is more positive, and the chronic dysentery is more deficient. In the treatment of dysentery, first dysentery should be relieved, chronic dysentery should be astringent, hot dysentery should be cleared, cold dysentery should be warmed, and those with cold-heat deficiency and excess should be combined with astringent, warming and clearing. For infectious bacillary dysentery and amoebic dysentery, the focus should be on prevention and control of infection.
