泄泻之症，经云有五。所谓五泄者∶曰胃泄、脾泄、大肠泄、大瘕泄、小肠泄。胃泄者∶饮食不化，色黄；脾泄者∶
腹胀满，泻注，食则吐逆；大肠泄者∶食已窘迫，肠鸣切痛，大便色白；大瘕泄者∶里急后重，数至圊而不能便，小腹
痛；小肠泄者∶溲而便脓血，小腹痛，茎中痛。名则有五，泄非一端。有因脾胃虚弱，饮食不能运化而作泄者；有饮食
过伤，食积停滞而作泻者；有久阴动湿而泄者；有寒暑调理失宜而作泄者；有乳母自病；儿吮热乳，而作泻者。脾虚则
温补之；停食消导之；积聚随缓急而下之；动湿则辛散而渗之；寒暑则随时令冷热调理之；乳母有疾，问其症而治之。
泄泻初起，不可便用补剂，恐宿食不消，反生他症矣。证见五虚∶脉细、厥冷、少气、泄痢、不食，为难治。

泄泻的症状，医经中记载有五种。所谓的五泄是指：胃泄、脾泄、大肠泄、大瘕泄（类似痢疾）、小肠泄。胃泄的表现是：饮食不能消化，大便颜色发黄；脾泄的表现是：腹部胀满，腹泻如水注，进食后呕吐逆气；大肠泄的表现是：吃完饭后感到窘迫急痛，肠鸣且疼痛剧烈，大便颜色发白；大瘕泄的表现是：里急后重（腹内急迫欲便但排便不畅），频繁去厕所却排不出多少，小腹疼痛；小肠泄的表现是：小便时大便带脓血，小腹痛，尿道疼痛。名称虽有五种，但导致泄泻的原因并非只有一种。有的因为脾胃虚弱，饮食无法运化而导致泄泻；有的因为饮食过度损伤，食积停滞而导致泄泻；有的因为久阴天气触动湿气而导致泄泻；有的因为寒暑调理不当而导致泄泻；有的因为乳母自身患病，婴儿吸吮了热性的乳汁而导致泄泻。对于脾虚引起的，采用温补的方法治疗；对于停食引起的，采用消食导滞的方法治疗；对于积聚引起的，根据病情的缓急采用攻下法治疗；对于湿邪引起的，采用辛散和渗利的方法治疗；对于寒暑引起的，根据季节时令的冷热进行调理；对于乳母有病引起的，询问其病症并加以治疗。泄泻初起时，不可立即使用补剂，恐怕宿食未消，反而引发其他病症。如果证候出现五虚（指脉细、四肢厥冷、少气、泄痢、不食这五种虚衰征象），则属于难治之症。

The symptoms of diarrhea are recorded in medical classics as having five types. The so-called "Five Diarrheas" refer to: Wei (Stomach) Diarrhea, Pi (Spleen) Diarrhea, Dachang (Large Intestine) Diarrhea, Dajia Xie (similar to dysentery), and Xiaochang (Small Intestine) Diarrhea. The manifestation of Wei (Stomach) Diarrhea is: food and drink are not digested, and the stool color is yellow; the manifestation of Pi (Spleen) Diarrhea is: abdominal distension and fullness, watery diarrhea, and vomiting after eating; the manifestation of Dachang (Large Intestine) Diarrhea is: urgency and discomfort after eating, loud bowel sounds with severe pain, and white-colored stool; the manifestation of Dajia Xie (Dysentery-like condition) is: tenesmus (urgent desire to defecate but difficult passage), frequent trips to the toilet with little output, and lower abdominal pain; the manifestation of Xiaochang (Small Intestine) Diarrhea is: pus and blood in the stool during urination, lower abdominal pain, and pain in the urethra. Although there are five names, the causes of diarrhea are not limited to one. Some cases arise from Spleen and Stomach deficiency, where food cannot be transported and transformed; some arise from excessive dietary injury, where food stagnation accumulates; some arise from long-term Yin conditions activating dampness; some arise from improper regulation of cold and heat; and some arise from a wet nurse being ill, causing the infant to suckle hot milk. For those caused by Spleen deficiency, warm tonification is used; for those caused by food retention, digestion-promoting and guiding methods are used; for those caused by accumulation, purgative methods are used according to the severity; for those caused by dampness, acrid dispersing and leaching methods are used; for those caused by cold and heat, regulation is adjusted according to seasonal changes; and for those caused by a sick wet nurse, her condition is diagnosed and treated accordingly. At the onset of diarrhea, tonifying agents should not be used immediately, lest the retained food fail to digest and cause other complications. If the syndrome presents with the "Five Deficiencies" (pulse thready, cold extremities, shortness of breath, diarrhea/dysentery, and anorexia), it is considered difficult to treat.
