Pale and abundant urination is a condition characterized by frequent excretion of light-colored urine. It's not just about the frequency of urination, but also the pale color that often signifies diluted urine. This symptom can be a normal response to increased fluid intake but may also indicate underlying health issues if persistent.
Synonyms include frequent pale urination and repeated instances of pale-colored urine. It's a specific manifestation under the broader symptom category of pale urine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perceives pale and abundant urination as a sign of disharmony within the body's systems. Unlike Western medicine, which might attribute this symptom to dietary habits or fluid intake, TCM looks at it through the lens of energy imbalances and disturbances in bodily organs. It's considered crucial to identify the underlying pattern of disharmony causing this symptom, as TCM treats the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
