Urination stopping in the middle of flow is a symptom that can indicate an underlying issue with the urinary system. This condition, often a sign of interrupted bladder function, may result from various causes, including obstructions or nerve-related problems that affect bladder control.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), urination stopping midstream is seen as a signal of imbalance within the body's Qi, or vital energy, particularly involving the Bladder and Kidney systems. TCM emphasizes identifying the specific pattern of disharmony causing the symptom to tailor an effective treatment plan, focusing on restoring harmony and balance to the flow of Qi.
