Today I would like to share with you a case of treating edema, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination from the spleen, and every time I encounter this similar situation, I use the same method to achieve good results.
This patient is from Jiangxi, relatively old, 68 years old, 3 years ago was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis by the hospital, since then, dozens of times a day to go to the toilet, still old at night, just started to use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs can be relieved for a while, but recently felt that the symptoms have worsened, to the toilet is a stop is not to pee, after the toilet will feel particularly weak, the whole body is tired, sometimes even need to wear a urine pad, the legs are often edema, especially at night will be aggravated; and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs have not worked, because of the age, do not want to do surgery, so turn to traditional Chinese medicine conservative treatment
Before I came, I also brought the recipe I had used before, including Zhenwu Soup, Guifu Dihuang Soup, Wuling San, etc., mostly based on Wenyang Xingqi and water, but there was no effect, after a detailed consultation, I learned that in addition to edema and frequent urination, it was also accompanied by soreness in the waist and knees, loss of appetite, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, dizziness and drowsiness, chest tightness, fatigue, phlegm, unformed stool, etc., the tongue image shows that the tongue coating is thick and greasy and white, there are cracks in front of the tongue, and the root of the tongue is slightly concave, but it is not obvious, then it can be determined that his problem is not in the kidneys, but in the spleen and stomach! Why?
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the spleen belongs to the soil, the kidney belongs to the water, and the spleen soil is the kidney water, and the patient usually has a bad appetite, coupled with a lot of phlegm, the tongue coating is thick and white, and the stool is not formed, etc., reflecting the poor spleen and stomach, and the spleen deficiency can not make water, and the water and dampness are not transported in time, a large amount of fluid will be stored in the body, and the spleen is insufficient, unable to promote the discharge of the fluid, and it will remain in the body, resulting in edema, frequent urination, weakness and so on
Therefore, in view of his situation, we should start with the spleen, and give Codonopsis, Poria cocos, Atractylodes, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Chicken Inner Gold, Banxia, Coix seed, Xianling spleen, Citrus aurantium, and tangerine peel as the formula, the purpose is to improve the transportation function of the spleen and stomach, and make water through the spleen, and if the spleen and stomach are good, the lung qi will be sufficient, and the lungs can help diuresis by promoting and suppressing
In the second diagnosis, Chinese medicines such as eucommia, hyssop, aconite, and dried ginger were added to help enhance the gasification function, and the two courses of conditioning continued, and the urine returned to normal, and all the symptoms disappeared, and there was no recurrence in the follow-up for half a year.
