大便下血者,是大肠热结损伤所为也,脏气既伤,风邪自入,或蓄热,或积冷,
或湿毒于脾胃,或疳食伤于脏腑,因兹冷热交击,疳湿互作,致动血气,停留于内,
凝滞无归,渗入肠中,故大便下血也。或有腹胀,冷气在内攻冲,亦令大便下血。
又因风冷乘虚客入脾胃,或瘀血在于肠胃,湿毒下如豆汁。又疳伤于脏,亦能便血,
若上焦心肺积热,施注大肠,亦令大便下血也。亡血脾弱必渴,久则血虚,其人必
肌体萎黄,头发不黑矣。溺血者,盖心主血,与小肠相合,血之流行,周遍经络,

肝统诸经之血。又云∶气主 之,血主濡之。盖荣血为水谷之精气,灌溉五脏六腑,
四肢百骸,若脾胃有伤,荣卫虚弱,行失常道,故上为衄血吐血,下为尿血便血矣。

Hematochezia (blood in stool) is caused by heat accumulation and damage in the Large Intestine. Once the Qi of the Zang-Fu organs is injured, Wind pathogen enters spontaneously; there may be accumulated Heat or retained Cold, Damp-Toxin affecting the Spleen and Stomach, or malnutrition (Gan syndrome) damaging the Zang-Fu due to dietary excess. Consequently, Cold and Heat strike each other, and Gan-Dampness interacts, causing Blood-qi to move and remain internally, stagnating without returning to its vessels, seeping into the intestines, thus resulting in hematochezia. Some cases present with abdominal distension; cold Qi attacking from within can also cause hematochezia. Additionally, Wind-Cold invading the Spleen and Stomach due to deficiency, or blood stasis remaining in the stomach and intestines, may result in damp-toxin discharging like bean juice. Furthermore, Gan injury to the Zang-Fu can also lead to blood in stool. If Heat accumulates in the Upper Jiao (Heart and Lungs) and pours downward into the Large Intestine, it too causes hematochezia. Loss of Blood leads to weak Spleen Qi and inevitable thirst; over time, Blood deficiency results in sallow complexion and black hair loss.
Hematuria (blood in urine) occurs because the Heart governs Blood and connects with the Small Intestine. Blood circulates through the meridians and Zang-Fu organs. If Heat gathers in the Bladder, Blood seeps into the bladder (Pao), causing blood to exit with urine. Xue Ji stated: "The Lung directs the Qi of all vessels; the Liver controls the Blood of all meridians." It is also said: "Qi provides warmth; Blood provides nourishment." Ying-Blood (Nutritive Blood) is the essence of food and drink, irrigating the Zang-Fu organs and limbs. If the Spleen and Stomach are damaged, Ying and Wei (Defensive) Qi become weak, and their movement deviates from normal pathways, leading to epistaxis or hematemesis above, and hematuria or hematochezia below. If affected by external Wind pathogen, the blood is bright red, known as Changfeng (Intestinal Wind); if affected internally, the blood is turbid, known as Zangdu (Visceral Toxin). Heat entering the Large Intestine causes hematochezia; Heat entering the Small Intestine causes hematuria. However, children often suffer from heat received in the womb, or from the nursing mother's exposure to Six Excesses or Seven Emotions, consumption of rich flavors causing heat accumulation, or the child's own consumption of sweet and fatty foods causing heat, or invasion by Six Excesses externally. If caused by the mother's consumption of rich flavors, use Jia Wei Qing Wei San (Modified Clearing Stomach Powder). If caused by anger stirring Liver Fire, use Jia Wei Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Modified Minor Bupleurum Decoction). If caused by worry, thought, depression, and anger, use Jia Wei Gui Pi Tang (Modified Restore the Spleen Decoction). If due to inheriting Kidney Dryness from the father, use Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill). For children with accumulated Heat and hematuria: if it is Excess Heat, use Qing Xin Lian Zi Yin (Clear Heart Lotus Seed Drink); if Deficient Heat, use Liu Wei Di Huang Wan. For hematochezia, use Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn Rehmannia Decoction). For external Wind invasion, use Cang Lin San (Granary Powder). For post-illness sinking of Yuan Qi (Primal Qi), use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction). If blood appears before stool, use Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with Coptis Rhizome processed with Evodia Fruit. If blood appears after stool, use Si Jun Zi Tang added with Evodia Fruit processed with Coptis Rhizome. For infants, treatment should primarily focus on the mother; for others, adjust according to clinical presentation.
