Bladder disease
膀胱病 〔膀胱病〕 páng guāng bìng
Any morbidity of the bladder. Bladder disease manifests in changes in urine and urination. It may take the form of vacuity or repletion. Vacuity patterns are attributable to insufficiency of kidney qì affecting bladder qì transformation (voiding of urine) and take the form of frequent urination, enuresis, or urinary incontinence. Repletion patterns are usually attributable to damp-heat and are characterized by short voidings of reddish urine, murky urine, frequent urination with difficulty in voiding, scorching pain in the urethra on urination, stones in the urine, pus in the urine, or bloody urine, and bladder qì block with painful distension of the lesser abdomen. Vacuity patterns are treated by supplementing the kidney and securing the bladder; damp-heat patterns are treated by clearing heat and disinhibiting dampness.
