Dysentery of cold and heat arises from the weakness of the intestines and stomach, where pre-existing cold is injured by heat. The mutual interaction of cold and heat results in dysentery with stools that are alternately yellow and white. If heat combats blood, causing blood to seep into the intestinal cavity, it transforms into bloody dysentery. Conversely, if cold lingers within the intestines and combats body fluids (Jinye), causing them to coagulate into a white substance, it becomes dysentery with both pus and blood (Chi Bai Li).
