Thorough Examination and Differentiation of Dampness Pathogen:An Analysis of Professor Dou Yongqi's Academic Thoughts on the Treatment of Dampness Patho-gen-related Diseases
Dampness pathogen exhibits diffuse,heavily turbid,sticky,and descending pathological characteristics.It tends to insidiously cause illness,easily damages yang qi,obstructs the qi movement,can transform into cold or heat,and complicates other pathogens such as wind,cold,and summer heat.Consequently,the clinical manifestations of dampness pathogen-related diseases are complex and prone to misdiagnosis.Professor Dou Yongqi pointed out that when young doc-tors encountered symptoms such as"excessive sweating,aversion to cold,dry mouth,pain,and bloating",they often hastily attributed them to syndromes of"qi deficiency,yang deficiency,yin deficiency,qi stagnation,or cold"without careful dif-ferentiation.This often leads to medication errors,resulting in ineffective treatment or even adverse effects,which is quite common.However,after a detailed inquiry,observing the complexion,and feeling the pulse,these symptoms are frequently found to be caused by dampness pathogen.This article,drawing on Professor Dou Yongqi's clinical experience and case studies,summarized his academic insights on diagnosing and treating diseases related to dampness pathogen,offering valua-ble reference to fellow practitioners.
