第五卷中）
According to *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases), the etiology of incontinence of urine is deficiency of Kidney Qi and cold invasion of the Lower Jiao. The Kidney governs water metabolism, and its Qi flows downward to the external genitalia. When the Kidney is deficient and the Lower Jiao is cold, it fails to warm and control the fluids, resulting in incontinence of urine. (From Volume 14)
*Qianjin Yifang* (Supplement to the Thousand Golden Prescriptions) provides a prescription for incontinence of urine, with urination occurring one or two dou daily, or urine appearing bloody:
*Mai Men Dong* (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed) 8 liang, *Gan Di Huang* (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) 8 liang, *Ji Li Zi* (Tribuli Fructus) 2 liang, *Gui Xin* (Cinnamomi Cortex) 2 liang, *Xu Duan* (Dipsaci Radix) 2 liang, *Gan Cao* (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, prepared by stir-frying with honey) 1 piece, *Gan Jiang* (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 4 liang.
The above seven herbs are cut into pieces, decocted in 10 dou of water until reduced to 2 sheng 5 he, and divided into three doses.
Another prescription, "Jiu Fang San" (Long-lasting Intercourse Powder), treats frequent urination or incontinence:
*Tu Si Zi* (Cuscutae Semen) 2 liang (soaked in wine), *Pu Huang* (Typhae Pollen) 3 liang, *Huang Lian* (Coptidis Rhizoma) 3 liang, *Xiao Shi* (Natrii Sulfas) 1 liang, *Rou Cong Rong* (Cistanches Herba) 2 liang, *Wu Wei Zi* (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) 3 liang, *Ji Nei Jin* (Gigantii Stomateum Corneum, prepared by stir-frying) 3 liang.
The above eight herbs are crushed and sifted to make a powder. Each dose is one fang cun bi (a square-inch spoonful), taken three times daily. After each dose, walk for the distance covered by a person walking for three to four li, then take another dose. (All from Volume 15)
Regarding frequency of urination, *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* states that the etiology is deficiency of both the Bladder and the Kidney, compounded by pathogenic heat invading due to this deficiency. The Kidney and Bladder are interior-exterior partners, jointly governing water metabolism; the Kidney Qi flows downward to the external genitalia, causing frequent urination. (From relevant volumes)
Fan Wang’s prescription for treating frequent urination:
*Huang Lian* (Coptidis Rhizoma) 2 fen, *Ku Shen* (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix) 2 fen, *Mai Men Dong* (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed) 1 liang, *Tu Gua Gen* (Trichosanthis Radix) 1 fen, *Long Dan* (Gentianae Radix) 1 fen.
The above five herbs are crushed and sifted, mixed with honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Each dose is ten pills, increased gradually to twenty pills, which yields good results. (An alternative version excludes Ku Shen and uses Huang Qin instead).
Another prescription:
*Gua Lou* (Trichosanthis Fructus) 10 fen, *Huang Lian* (Coptidis Rhizoma) 5 fen.
The above two herbs are crushed and sifted to make a powder. Each dose is one fang cun bi, taken three times daily, yielding good results.
Another prescription:
*Qu Mai* (Dianthi Herba) 2 liang, *Hua Shi* (Talcum) 1 liang, *Kui Zi* (Malvae Semen) 1 sheng, *Huang Qin* (Scutellariae Radix) 1 liang (prepared by stir-frying), *Gan Cao* (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, prepared by stir-frying with honey) 1 liang.
The above five herbs are cut into pieces, decocted in 6 sheng of water until reduced to 3 sheng. Strain the dregs and take 6 he as a single dose.
Another prescription:
Use only *Tao Ren* (Persicae Semen), crush it, decoct in 1 sheng of wine for three boils. Strain the dregs and divide into three doses. For robust individuals, the entire dose may be taken at once. (All from Volume 17)
*Ji Yan Fang* (Collected Proven Prescriptions) provides a treatment for frequent urination:
Sheep Lung Soup, cooked with a small amount of mutton. Season with salt and eat as usual. The quantity is arbitrary; taking no more than three sheep lungs will yield efficacy. (Fan Wang’s record is identical, from Volume 5).
