What is purpura?

There are many types of purpura, including simple purpura, allergic purpura, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, rheumatic purpura, etc. The causes of each type of purpura are different. If you want to understand what purpura is, it is not enough to just know its classification, you also need to know the clinical manifestations of purpura.

(I) Heat sensation and hemorrhage

1 Main symptoms: Acute onset, short course, sometimes accompanied by fever, purple spots or plaques on the skin, more common on the lower limbs, dry throat, thirst, yellow urine, irritability, restless sleep, sometimes accompanied by headache, joint pain, red tongue, yellow tongue coating, floating or stringy pulse.

2Symptom analysis: The evil heat is excessive inside the body, forcing the blood to flow abnormally, causing the blood to overflow from the vessels and seep between the skin, resulting in epistaxis. When internal heat accumulates, it causes fever; when excessive heat causes depletion of body fluids, it causes thirst; when heat disturbs the mind, it causes irritability and restlessness; when heat moves to the bladder muscles, it causes yellow urine; when wind-heat evil invades the surface of the body, it causes chills, fever, headache, and joint pain; the tongue and pulse both show signs of heat.

(II) Kidney Essence Depletion

1 Main symptoms: purple spots on the skin, which come and go, accompanied by sore waist and weak knees, tinnitus, hot palms and soles, frequent dreams at night, red tongue with little coating, and deep and fine pulse.

2. Symptom analysis: Long-term illness and fatigue will damage kidney essence, and internal fire will burn the blood vessels and force blood to flow abnormally, so there will be purple spots on the skin, which will appear and stop from time to time; the waist is the home of the kidneys, and the kidneys open up to the ears. Kidney deficiency and malnutrition will cause back pain, weak knees, and tinnitus; the kidney controls the uterus, and if the kidney yin is insufficient, the blood vessels will be damaged, then the blood vessels will rupture and bleed, and there will be excessive menstruation; the virtual fire disturbs the mind, and if the mind is not at home, there will be nightmares at night; other symptoms and tongue and pulse are signs of kidney yin deficiency.

(III) Deficiency of Qi and Blood

1 Main symptoms: scattered purple spots on the skin, recurring, light in color, accompanied by shortness of breath, fatigue, poor appetite, pale complexion, dizziness, palpitations; pale tongue, thin white fur, and weak pulse.

2Symptom analysis: Qi is the commander of blood, and when Qi flows, blood flows. When Qi is deficient, blood loses control, and blood does not flow through the meridians but flows out from between the skin and muscles, so purple spots and light color appear on the skin. Repeated bleeding causes Qi to go away with blood, leading to Qi and blood deficiency, so there is fatigue. Palpitations occur when the heart is not nourished. Dizziness occurs when the heart is not nourished. When the blood is deficient and cannot nourish the body, the tongue will be pale and the face will be white. When the blood vessels are not full, the pulse will be thin and weak.
