The disease of "Paozhuan" (bladder torsion/spasm leading to urinary retention) in women is caused by heat pathogen forcing the bladder. Or, holding urine forcibly, both lead to water qi pressing upon the bladder, causing it to curl and shrink without being able to fill and expand. External fluids should enter but cannot; internal urine should exit but cannot. Internal and external stagnation causes distension and blockage, hence termed "Paozhuan". Its presentation includes acute pain in the lower abdomen and inability to urinate. Severe cases may lead to death and are incurable.
The *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang* contains Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia Root), which treats female Paozhuan with urinary retention.

If sudden total obstruction occurs, with lower abdominal distension and urgency, Qi rushing up to strike the heart, causing suffocation and near-death sensation. This is due to violent Qi attacking and accumulating in the Bladder, or arising from sorrow and fright, where Qi has no outlet, becoming depressed and closed without flowing, striking the Paolian (bladder ligament/attachment) causing misalignment. Pulse diagnosis reveals the right hand pulse is choppy and small, while the left hand pulse is rapid and large. Congbai Tang (Scallion Decoction) is indicated.
