The *Huangdi Sanbu Zhenjiu Jing* (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) states: Swelling and pain in the lower abdomen, with inability to urinate, indicates pathogenic factors affecting the Triple Burner (Sanjiao, 三焦). This disease is named "Sanjiao Yue" (Contraction/Restriction of the Triple Burner). Internal blockage leads to the inability to pass both stool and urine.
