Jiaochang (Crossed Intestines) refers to a condition where the positions of urination and defecation are reversed, meaning urine is excreted from the anus and feces from the urethra. This is caused by an imbalance of cold and heat, disharmony of Yin and Yang, and chaotic Qi movement in the lower Jiao. Women are more prone to this syndrome.
Modified Siwu Decoction
Ingredients: Siwu Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Rehmannia Root, Angelica Sinensis, and Paeonia Root Decoction) (5 qian), Yi Yuan San (Benefit the Primordial Powder) (2.5 qian).
Preparation and Administration: Decoct with half water and half wine; take warm on an empty stomach.
Note: Previously, some physicians used Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) as the treatment method; this represents another approach.
Another Method: Burn old black gauze caps to ash and ingest.
Various forms of Lin Syndrome (Dysuria) arise from Kidney deficiency combined with Heat in the Bladder. The Qi of the Kidney connects to the genital region, which serves as the pathway for the downward flow of body fluids. The Bladder and Kidney have an interior-exterior relationship; the Bladder is the mansion of body fluids. When the Kidney is deficient, urination becomes frequent; when the Bladder has Heat, the downward flow of urine becomes obstructed and difficult. The combination of frequency and obstruction leads to dribbling and incomplete emptying, hence it is called "Lin." Its manifestations include frequent urges to urinate but with small volumes each time, tension and pain in the lower abdomen radiating to the umbilicus. There are different types: Shi Lin (Stone Dysuria), Lao Lin (Fatigue Dysuria), Xue Lin (Blood Dysuria), Qi Lin (Qi Dysuria), and Gao Lin (Gelatinous Dysuria).
Touge San (Penetrating Grid Powder)
Ingredients: Xiaoshi (Niter/Sodium Nitrate) (1 liang), selected without soil impurities and pure white in color, raw and ground into powder. Dosage: 2 qian per administration.
Administration:
For Lao Lin (Fatigue Dysuria): Caused by overexertion and bodily deficiency leading to urinary retention and acute lower abdominal pain. Administer the powder with decoction of Abelmoschus manihot seeds and rice. After urination is restored, one must administer Bu Xu Wan San (Deficiency-Nourishing Pills/Powders).
For Xue Lin (Blood Dysuria): Urinary retention accompanied by intermittent bleeding, pain, and distending urgency. Administer the powder mixed with cold water.
For Re Lin (Heat Dysuria): Burning sensation during urination with red urine and acute pain below the umbilicus. Administer the powder mixed with cold water.
For Qi Lin (Qi Dysuria): Distending urgency in the lower abdomen with post-micturition dribbling. Administer the powder with decoction of Akebia Stem (Mutong).
For Shi Lin (Stone Dysuria): Pain within the penis, inability to pass urine, pain radiating inward to the lower abdomen causing distension and acute pain, and passage of sand/stones in urine, which may cause fainting. First, place the powder in a Ding (a type of bronze vessel for cooking/medicinal preparation), stir-fry over paper until charred, then grind again. Mix with warm water and ingest on an empty stomach, ensuring the medicine dissolves like water before drinking. (From Shen Cunzhong's *Lingyuan Fang*)
The causes of Lin Syndrome vary: they may result from sexual exhaustion, anger, or consumption of strong alcohol and rich/greasy foods. Sexual exhaustion leads to Yin deficiency with hyperactive Fire. Anger causes Qi stagnation transforming into Fire. Alcohol and rich foods brew Damp-Heat. Long-standing accumulation of Heat結s in the Lower Jiao, resulting in painful dribbling. Initially, this presents as Re Lin or Xue Lin; over time, the Heat boils down body fluids, making them thick and turbid, resembling gelatin, sand, or stones. Methods that clear Heat and promote diuresis can only treat Re Lin and Xue Lin. For Gao Lin, Shi Lin, and Sha Lin (Sand Dysuria), one must employ methods to resolve stagnation, move Qi, break blood stasis, and nourish Yin. Ancient formulas use Yujin (Curcuma Rhizome) and Hupo (Fossilized Wood) to resolve stagnation; Qingpi (Aged Tangerine Peel) and Muxiang (Costus Root) to move Qi; Puhuang (Pollen Typhae) and Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) to break blood stasis; Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) and Sheng Dihuang (Rehmannia Root) to nourish Yin. Li Dongyuan treated lower abdominal pain using Qingpi and Huangbai, because Qingpi soothes the Liver and Huangbai nourishes the Kidney, noting that the lower abdomen is the anatomical region of the Liver and Kidney.
