Frequent urination involves the need to urinate more often than usual, disrupting normal activities and sleep patterns. It can signal underlying health issues or simply result from increased fluid intake. The condition spans various forms, including nocturia (nighttime urination) and frequent pale or urgent urination, affecting individuals differently.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perceives frequent urination as a symptom of imbalance within the body's energetic systems, particularly the Kidney and Bladder. TCM emphasizes the importance of identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony—be it a deficiency, excess, or stagnation—to tailor an effective treatment plan.
