What are the Chinese patent medicines that relieve anxiety and frequent urination?

Currently, Xiaoyao Pills, Bupleurum Shugan Pills, Shuoquan Pills, and Zhibai Dihuang Pills are commonly used in clinical and daily conditioning. Most of them are based on the idea of ​​soothing the liver, regulating qi, and fixing the bladder.

After all, anxiety-type frequent urination is different from ordinary urinary tract infection or frequent urination due to kidney deficiency. The essence is that emotions are suppressed first. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the liver governs dispersion. When you become anxious and liver stagnation occurs, the gasification function of the bladder will also be disrupted. You will not be able to hold your urine, so you will always run to the toilet. Routine urinalysis and urinary system B-ultrasound often show no problems, but the more nervous you are, the more you want to go. I once met a little girl who was taking the postgraduate entrance examination. During the two months of sprinting, she had to run to the toilet more than ten times during the day. As soon as she sat down to answer two questions, she felt the urge to urinate in the top of her head. She went to the hospital to check and found no problems. The doctor prescribed Xiaoyao Pills and Shuiquan Pills. After taking it for less than ten days, she said that the urge to urinate was not that urgent. Before, she had to go to the toilet when she thought of taking the mock exam. Later, she did not have to run out during the entire three-hour mock exam.

However, I have to mention here that many people on the Internet directly recommend Shuiquan Pills when they search for anxiety and frequent urination. In fact, it is not suitable for everyone. If you always have dry mouth and bitter taste, bad temper, swollen ribs, and yellow tongue coating when you are anxious, then taking Shuiquan Pills alone is useless. You must first take Bupleurum Shugan Pills to clear the qi stagnation, and the bladder will naturally be able to hold the urine. Some people are not only prone to anxiety, but also always have heat in the palms and soles of their feet. They often sweat when sleeping at night, and their tongues are red and have little coating. At this time, they need to take Zhibai Dihuang Pills, which alone are not enough to soothe the liver. There was a young man who worked in sales before. He saw on the Internet that Xiaoyao Pills can treat anxiety and frequent urination. He bought it and took it for almost two weeks. Instead, he always had diarrhea and urinated frequently. When he came to see me, I felt his pulse was heavy. He was usually afraid of cold. He had liver stagnation and kidney yang deficiency. He had to replace Xiaoyao Pills with Bupleurum Shugan Pills and add some Jingui Shenqi Pills. After taking it for a week, he got better. He no longer had to worry about finding the toilet before meeting customers.

If you only occasionally urinate frequently due to nervousness, such as giving a speech on stage or before taking the driver's license test, you don't need to take it for a long time. Chewing 2 Xiaoyao Pills an hour or two in advance can usually relieve the sudden urge to urinate. Of course, the premise is that you are not allergic to these ingredients and do not have any underlying liver or kidney diseases. But to be honest, Chinese patent medicines can only help you get the disordered organ functions back on track. If the underlying anxiety is not resolved, it will still be easy to relapse after stopping the medicine. Practice abdominal breathing more often. When you have the urge to urinate, hold it for two or three minutes before going again. This will slowly reduce the sensitivity of the bladder, which is much more reliable than taking medicine every day. If there is no improvement after taking it for a week, you still need to go to a regular Chinese medicine practitioner to take a pulse check. Don’t delay things by making random adjustments on your own.
