Combined with the performance of its tongue and veins, the evil qi of dampness and heat in the body is accumulated in the kidneys and bladder, which causes the bladder to vaporize unfavorably, so the urination is frequent and short, astringent and hot;
The pathogenesis lies in the interweaving of dampness, heat, and stasis.

Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on adjusting the state of the human body, restoring balance, dispersing evil qi, and strengthening the right and dispelling evil. Although the patient sought help from traditional Chinese medicine after ineffective anti-inflammatory treatment, the cause of the disease is complex and cannot be treated with one drug.
If we only focus on anti-inflammatory and ignore the root cause of inflammation, it is difficult to cure it or it is easy to recur. Just like the fish in the pond turned their bellies, only the dead fish were fished out, but the problem of polluted pond water was not solved, and the problem still exists.
Therefore, the treatment of the disease should be uprooted and there will be no future troubles.
