Common Conditions:
Urethritis, Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Retention, Urethral Stones, Renal Colic.
TCM Mechanism:
Urethritis:
Often due to damp-heat accumulating in the bladder and lower jiao, causing painful, burning urination and frequent urges.
Urinary Incontinence:
Attributed to kidney qi deficiency, spleen qi sinking, or bladder dysfunction, leading to poor control of urination.
Urinary Retention:
Commonly caused by bladder qi obstruction, damp-heat blocking the passage, or kidney yang deficiency failing to transform fluids.
Urethral Stones:
Formed from damp-heat and turbidity accumulating in the lower jiao, leading to obstruction and painful urination.
Renal Colic:
Typically linked to qi stagnation and blood stasis in the urinary tract, often combined with damp-heat, causing sharp, radiating flank pain.
Indications:
- Patients with burning urination, frequent urination, or difficulty passing urine.
- Individuals experiencing incontinence, urinary urgency, or leakage due to weakness of kidney qi.
- People with a history of urinary stones, renal colic, or recurrent urethritis.
- Suitable for those with chronic kidney deficiency or damp-heat syndromes affecting the urinary tract.
