He once treated a 60 year old male patient with frequent urination. He had been ill for many years. He had to get up more than ten times every night. The urine color was clean. Western medicine checked the urinary system system and urine routine, and there was no abnormality. In addition to frequent urination at night, there was no other obvious abnormality in the body. The color, pulse, color, and other signs were yin and cold.
According to the conventional method of tonifying the kidney and taking urine, combined prescriptions such as Shuoquan Pill, Sangguzi Powder, Shuilu Erxian Dan, etc. are used for treatment, such as Sangguzi, Yizhiren, Huaishan Yao, Wuyao, Cherry Blossom, Euryale Fruit, Raspberry, Cornus officinalis, Cuscuta Seed, Dragon Bone, Oyster, etc.
After a week of medication, the symptoms remained unchanged with almost no improvement; The patient was accompanied by symptoms such as fear of wind and cold, so they added Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang to the original prescription and continued to use it. At this time, the patient's nocturnal urination was greatly improved, and after about half a month of further conditioning, the phenomenon of frequent urination almost disappeared.
According to: Patients usually suffer from yang qi deficiency, with the kidneys and bladder being external and internal, kidney yang deficiency, and unfavorable bladder gasification leading to frequent urination, which is a common practice. However, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the intake of nutrients cannot be effective; Considering that the patient also has symptoms of wind cold external bundle, fear of wind cold, and adverse effects on the solar meridians, Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang was added to greatly enhance the functions of promoting hair, warming yang, dispersing cold, and promoting qi, so it takes effect quickly.
Regarding medication, considering the experience of some senior Chinese medicine practitioners in treating urinary frequency, there have been cases of using Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang or Mahuang Tang alone to treat urinary frequency, and there have also been many cases of effective treatment; It is believed that ephedra is a very important drug for treating urinary frequency. The mechanism is that ephedra can promote lung qi, regulate water channels, and have a bidirectional regulatory effect on difficulty urination, urinary frequency, and pediatric enuresis.
Afterwards, in the treatment of frequent urination and syndrome differentiation, as long as it belongs to the type of yang deficiency and yin cold, there is almost no need for a single flavor of ephedra, which greatly increases the therapeutic effect! Of course, syndrome differentiation is very important, and if it is other types of frequent urination such as dampness and heat, it is another matter.
The above medical records, prescriptions, and methods are for reference by colleagues and patients; The symptoms are complex, it is recommended to seek medical attention from a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
