Question
A 12-year-old girl frequently visits the bathroom, but each time she urinates in small amounts. What could be the cause?
Answer
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this condition may be due to the child’s congenital deficiency of kidney Qi. Kidney Qi deficiency can lead to incontinence of urine because the kidneys govern the opening and closing of the two Yin channels. To treat this condition, it is recommended to give the child Shuquan Wan. Additionally, attention to dietary adjustments and postnatal supplementation is also very important.
