This condition is named Xuan Yong (Hanging Abscess); the formula can be found in the "Sea Bottom" section.

Please refer to the "Stool Gate" section.

For unsatisfactory urination, as well as hematuria and leukorrhea, please see the subsequent "Strangury Gate". This condition varies in cold, heat, excess, and deficiency patterns, so there is no fixed treatment method. After using a formula, if there is no effect after one or two hours, another treatment may be attempted. Do not act rashly and indiscriminately administer medicines, which would only harm oneself. Take one pig bladder, insert a goose quill into the opening of the bladder, tie it securely with thread, inflate it by blowing air into it, press the tube opening with your hand, insert the tube opening into the urethral meatus, and manipulate the tube with your hand to force air into the meatus; urine will then flow out. For cases where all medicines fail to induce urination, this method is most excellent, and it is even more effective for women.
