【大意】
排尿滴沥不尽、涩滞疼痛称为淋证。小便急迫胀满、完全不通称为闭证。五淋的区别,虽然有气淋、砂淋、血淋、膏淋、劳淋的不同,但根本原因都是肾虚而膀胱生热。(《医宗心法》)
【内因】
由于长期食用肥甘厚味,导致气机郁结而成病,致使脾土受损,不能运化水谷精微,分别清浊,使得肺金失去资助,水道不清澈,逐渐形成淋病。或者因为用心过度、房事不节制,导致水火不交,心肾之气郁结,致使阴阳乖违格拒,清浊相互干扰,蓄积在下焦膀胱,使水道涩滞不通。(《景岳全书·正传》)
【外候】
小便涩痛,想排却排不出,排不出又忍不住想排,滴滴沥沥不断,严重时感到闷塞难受。(《医学入门》)
【淋病分辨】
气淋表现为涩滞不畅,余沥不尽;血淋表现为尿中带血,遇热则发作;石淋表现为阴茎疼痛,尿中有砂石,又名砂淋;膏淋表现为尿液稠浊,凝结如膏糊状,又名肉淋;劳淋表现为劳累后即发作,疼痛牵引至气冲穴部位,又名虚淋。(《证治汇补》)
【五淋微甚】
淋证虽然分为五种,但总归属于热邪。(朱丹溪)初起为热淋,严重者为血淋,日久则煎熬水液,或凝结成块如血,或稠浊如膏,或因火热灼烧而成砂石。(《伤寒绳墨》)这就像煮海水制盐的道理一样。(《医方考》)
【虚淋宜审】
淋证有虚实之分,不可不辨别。如气淋表现为脐下胀闷不适,确实是气滞所致,治法应当疏利气机。如果是气虚导致运行无力者,又应当补益中气。血淋表现为腹部坚硬、阴茎疼痛,可知为瘀血阻滞,治法应当祛除瘀血。然而若是血虚兼血冷者,又当补肾。只有膏淋表现为精液与尿液混合浑浊的异象,非滋阴治疗无效。劳淋表现为脾肾困顿衰败的状态,非扶正养正不能根除。(《证治汇补》)
【脉法】
少阴脉沉数,妇女表现为阴疮,男子表现为气淋。凡是淋证脉象盛大而坚实者预后良好(生),脉象虚弱细微且涩滞者预后不良(死)。(《证治汇补》)
【治法】
治疗淋证的方法,关键在于患者是否口渴。若热在气分,口渴且小便不利,这是肺中伏热,火气不能下降,适宜用气味轻薄、淡渗利湿的药物,清泄肺金之火以滋补水之上源。若热在血分,不口渴且小便不利,这是肾与膀胱无阴液滋润而阳气无法气化,适宜用气味俱阴的药物,清热通秘以滋补水之下源。(《医学入门》)
【淋症忌补】
凡是肠道有气滞,小便胀满;小肠有瘀血,小便涩滞;小肠有热,小便疼痛的,禁用补气之剂。因为气得到补益会更加胀满,血得到补益会更加涩滞,热得到补益会更加炽盛。如果水窍不通,再加上大便也不通,没有能存活的道理。(《医统》)
【淋病治禁】
淋证误用发汗法会导致死亡,轻者必然便血,这是因为重伤津液所致。另外,淋证出现口渴多汗症状的,不可轻易使用淡渗利湿之药。(张仲景)
【用药】
膀胱热结,用五淋散;肺脾气燥,用清肺饮;下焦阴虚,用滋肾丸;下焦阳虚,用肾气丸;脾经湿痰,用二陈汤,加苍术、泽泻、升麻、萆薢;肝经气滞,用逍遥散,加黄柏、泽泻、山栀、青皮。大抵淋证阴茎疼痛,必须用甘草梢;尿色红赤,用淡竹叶;有瘀血,用牛膝;有热,用木通;行气,用青皮、木香;开郁,用琥珀、郁金。这是李东垣的治法。血淋,用三生益元散;气淋,用木香汤;膏淋,用萆薢分清饮;砂淋,用石苇散;劳淋,用清心莲子饮。又有久患淋病,用上述方法无效的,用补中益气汤升提阳气。(《证治汇补》)
【附:冷淋】
膀胱是贮存津液的腑,依靠气化作用排出尿液。现在寒邪客居在胞宫(此处指下焦泌尿生殖区域),导致气不化水而成淋。必定先出现寒战,然后小便涩滞频数,尿道口肿痛。这是因为冷气进入胞中,与正气相争。寒气胜,则战栗发冷并发生淋证;正气胜,则战栗后得以排尿。治疗宜散寒扶正,用四君子汤加小茴香、木香、益智仁、肉桂、木通、泽泻为主方。(《医统》)
【附:虚淋】
虚淋,是肾虚精败所致。少年精气未盛而纵欲,老人阴痿而思淫,导致精液不出而在体内腐败,阴茎中涩痛形成淋证,只有金匮肾气汤可以救治。如果精已枯竭还继续耗损,则大小便牵引疼痛,越痛越想排便,越排便越痛。宜加倍使用肉桂、附子,以滋养化源。不可误用知母、黄柏及淡渗利湿等药剂,既泻其阳,又耗其阴。(薛己/立斋)
【附:小便频数】
有的病人起初因大便燥热,水液只流向小肠,导致小便频数,不计次数,阴茎中热痛,大便更加干燥,甚至全身高热,烦躁想喝水。这都是因为贪恋酒色,或过食辛辣温热荤腥污秽之物,使热毒腐瘀,随着虚损注入小肠,所以排尿时也疼痛,这与淋证的涩痛不同。宜用萆薢盐炒煎服,仍用葱汤频繁清洗肛门,令水液转入大肠,则尿频自止。(杨仁斋)

[General Principle]
Dribbling, incomplete emptying, and astringent pain during urination are termed Lin syndrome (Lin Zheng). Urgency, fullness, and complete inability to urinate are termed Bi syndrome (Bi Zheng). Although the five types of Lin differ—namely Qi Lin (Qi-type Lin), Sha Lin (Stone-type Lin), Xue Lin (Blood-type Lin), Gao Lin (Gooey-type Lin), and Lao Lin (Exhaustion-type Lin)—their root cause is always Kidney deficiency with Heat in the Bladder. (*Yi Zong Xin Fa*)
[Etiology: Internal Factors]
It arises from prolonged consumption of rich, greasy, and sweet foods, leading to Qi stagnation and disease. This damages the Spleen Earth, impairing its ability to transform and transport essence and separate the clear from the turbid. Consequently, Lung Metal loses support, water pathways become unclear, and Lin syndrome gradually develops. Alternatively, excessive mental exertion or unregulated sexual activity causes Water and Fire to fail to interact, leading to Qi stagnation in the Heart and Kidney. This results in Yin-Yang rebellion and obstruction, causing clear and turbid substances to interfere with each other and accumulate in the Lower Jiao Bladder, making the water pathway astringent and obstructed. (*Jing Yue Quan Shu: Zheng Zhuan*)
[External Manifestations]
Astringent pain in urination, the urge to void but inability to do so, dribbling continuously, and severe cases feeling stifled and blocked. (*Yi Xue Ru Men*)
[Differentiation of Lin Syndromes]
Qi Lin presents with astringency and obstruction, with residual drops continuing. Xue Lin presents with blood in the urine, flaring up when exposed to Heat. Shi Lin (Stone Lin) presents with penile pain and sand/stones in the urine, also known as Sha Lin. Gao Lin presents with thick, turbid urine coagulating like paste, also known as Rou Lin. Lao Lin manifests upon exertion, with pain radiating to the Qichong acupoint, also known as Xu Lin. (*Zheng Zhi Hui Bu*)
[Severity of the Five Lins]
Although there are five types of Lin, they all belong to Heat. (Zhu Danxi) Initially, it is Re Lin (Heat Lin); severely, it becomes Xue Lin. Over time, the heat boils down body fluids, forming clots like blood, or thick turbidity like paste, or stones formed by fire scorching. (*Shang Han Sheng Mo*) This is analogous to the principle of boiling seawater to make salt. (*Yi Fang Kao*)
[Examining Deficiency-type Lin]
Lin syndromes have Deficiency and Excess patterns that must be distinguished. For instance, Qi Lin with sub-umbilical distension and discomfort indicates Qi stagnation; the method should be to regulate and promote flow. If it is due to Qi deficiency failing to move, tonifying the Middle Jiao is appropriate. Xue Lin with abdominal hardness and penile pain indicates dead blood (stasis); the method should be to remove stasis. However, if it is Blood deficiency with Cold, tonifying the Kidney is required. Only Gao Lin, characterized by the mixture of essence and urine causing turbidity, responds effectively to Yin-nourishing treatments. Lao Lin, showing signs of Spleen and Kidney exhaustion, cannot be cured without nourishing Righteous Qi. (*Zheng Zhi Hui Bu*)
[Pulse Diagnosis]
A deep and rapid pulse at the Shaoyin position indicates Yin Chuang (Yin sores) in women and Qi Lin in men. Generally, if the pulse in Lin cases is large and firm, the prognosis is good (survival); if weak, minute, and choppy, the prognosis is poor (death). (*Zheng Zhi Hui Bu*)
[Therapeutic Principles]
The method for treating Lin depends on whether the patient is thirsty. If Heat is in the Qi level, accompanied by thirst and difficult urination, this indicates latent Heat in the Lung where Fire fails to descend. Light, thin, and bland-draining herbs should be used to clear Lung Metal and drain Fire to nourish the upper source of Water. If Heat is in the Blood level, without thirst but with difficult urination, this indicates Kidney and Bladder lack of Yin, preventing Yang from transforming. Herbs with both scent and flavor being Yin-nourishing should be used to clear Heat and relieve constipation to nourish the lower source of Water. (*Yi Xue Ru Men*)
[Contraindication of Tonification in Lin Cases]
If there is Qi in the intestines causing urinary distension, Blood in the small intestine causing astringent urination, or Heat in the small intestine causing painful urination, Qi-tonifying agents are strictly forbidden. Because Qi tonification worsens distension, Blood tonification worsens astringency, and Heat tonification exacerbates Heat. If the water passages are blocked and the grain passage (bowels) is also obstructed, survival is impossible. (*Yi Tong*)
[Treatment Contraindications for Lin]
Using diaphoresis (sweating methods) for Lin leads to death; mild cases will result in hematochezia due to severe depletion of body fluids. Furthermore, Lin cases presenting with thirst and excessive sweating should not lightly use bland-draining herbs. (Zhang Zhongjing)
[Medication Selection]
For Bladder Heat accumulation, use Wu Lin San. For Lung and Spleen Qi dryness, use Qing Fei Yin. For Lower Jiao Yin deficiency, use Zi Shen Wan. For Lower Jiao Yang deficiency, use Shen Qi Wan. For Spleen channel damp-phlegm, use Er Chen Tang, added with Cang Zhu, Ze Xie, Sheng Ma, and Bi Xie. For Liver channel Qi stagnation, use Xiao Yao San, added with Huang Bo, Ze Xie, Shan Zhi, and Qing Pi. Generally, for penile pain in Lin, Gan Cao Gao (Licorice tip) is essential. For red urine, Dan Zhu Ye is used. For stasis, Niu Xi is used. For Heat, Mu Tong is used. For moving Qi, Qing Pi and Mu Xiang are used. For opening depression, Hu Po and Yu Jin are used. This is Li Dongyuan's method. For Xue Lin, use San Sheng Yi Yuan San. For Qi Lin, use Mu Xiang Tang. For Gao Lin, use Bi Xie Fen Qing Yin. For Sha Lin, use Shi Wei San. For Lao Lin, use Qing Xin Lian Zi Yin. For chronic Lin unresponsive to previous methods, use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang to raise Yang Qi. (*Zheng Zhi Hui Bu*)
[Appendix: Cold Lin]
The Bladder is the fu organ of body fluids, relying on Qi transformation for excretion. Now, if Cold pathogen lodges in the Bao Zhong (uterus/lower jiao region), Qi fails to transform, resulting in Lin. There must first be chills, followed by astringent and frequent urination, and swelling/pain in the orifice. This is because Cold Qi enters the Bao and contends with Righteous Qi. When Cold wins, chills occur and Lin develops; when Righteous Qi wins, chills cease and urination occurs. Treatment should scatter Cold and support Righteous Qi, using Si Jun Zi Tang added with Hui Xiang, Mu Xiang, Yi Zhi Ren, Rou Gui, Mu Tong, and Ze Xie. (*Yi Tong*)
[Appendix: Deficiency Lin]
Deficiency Lin is caused by Kidney deficiency and essence deterioration. If youths with immature essence indulge in sex, or elderly men with impotence desire sexual activity, essence does not exit but rots internally, causing astringent pain in the penis and forming Lin. Only Jin Kui Shen Qi Tang can save such cases. If essence is already exhausted but further depleted, it causes pulling pain in both stool and urine; the more painful, the more one wants to defecate/void, and vice versa. One should double the dosage of Rou Gui and Fu Zi to nourish the source of transformation. Do not mistakenly use Zhi Mu, Huang Bo, or bland-draining agents, as they drain Yang and deplete Yin simultaneously. (Xue Ji)
[Appendix: Frequent Urination]
Some patients initially suffer from dry, hot stools, causing body fluids to flow only into the Small Intestine, resulting in frequent urination regardless of volume, hot pain in the penis, and increasingly dry stools, even leading to high fever, irritability, and thirst for water. This is due to indulgence in alcohol and sex, or overconsumption of spicy, warm, meaty, and foul foods, causing Heat toxicity and rotting stasis to enter the Small Intestine via deficiency. Thus, urination is painful, differing from the astringent pain of Lin. Use Bi Xie stir-fried with salt and decocted for oral administration. Also, frequently wash the anus with Scallion decoction to guide fluids into the Large Intestine, stopping the frequency naturally. (Yang Renzhai)
