论述说：妊娠期间小便不通的原因，是由于小肠有热，热气侵入膀胱（脬），内部热邪结聚严重，所以导致小便不通。如果小便不通，就会导致心胁部和小腹部气机涩滞而喘息急促。陈无择说：凡是妊娠胎体增大压迫膀胱，多导致小便不利的情况。或者是心肾之气不足，不能使膀胱寒冷（指气化功能失常），清浊之气相互干扰，形成各种淋证疾病；或者是胞系扭转不顺，小便不通，名叫转胞。还有胎体增大尿液流出不知时间，名叫遗尿，治疗它们各有相应的方剂。
Treats various diseases during pregnancy. Some cases arise from anger, causing the middle Qi to fill the uterus (Zizang) or the bladder meridians (Paomai), resulting in abdominal tension and distension, frequent pain in the waist and abdomen, loss of appetite and thirst, edema of the four limbs, shortness of breath with occasional asthma, sudden difficulty in defecation, sudden astringency and obstruction of urination, and sudden swelling of the birth canal.

If constipation persists for several days, add honey and decoct together.

Discussion states: The cause of urinary retention during pregnancy lies in heat in the Small Intestine. Heat enters the bladder (Pao). When internal heat accumulation is severe, it causes urinary retention. If urine cannot be discharged, Qi stagnation in the heart, hypochondrium, and lower abdomen leads to shortness of breath and urgency. Chen Wuyue said: In pregnancy, when the full fetus presses against the bladder, it often leads to difficult urination. This may be due to insufficiency of Heart and Kidney Qi, failing to keep the bladder cold (referring to dysfunction of Qi transformation), causing turbid and clear energies to interfere, resulting in various strangury diseases; or due to the twisting of the bladder ligaments (Baoxi), causing urinary retention, named Zhuanbao (Displacement of the Bladder). Also, when the full fetus causes involuntary leakage of urine without awareness, it is named Yi Niao (Urinary Incontinence). Each has its specific treatment prescriptions.
