Question
Why does a 12-year-old girl keep wanting to go to the bathroom, but not much comes out each time?
Answer
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this could be due to the girl’s insufficient congenital kidney Qi, which leads to incontinence of urine. Kidney Qi deficiency affects the opening and closing function of the two yin (front yin and rear yin). For this condition, treatments such as Shuquan Wan, a traditional Chinese medicine, can be administered, and dietary adjustments are also recommended to supplement postnatal nutrition.
