Kidney-Yang deficiency has changed into Kidney-Yin deficiency or because the Empty-Heat
arising from Kidney-Yin deficiency has condensed the body fluids and caused Dampness to
form.
On the other hand, Dampness itself may induce a deficiency of the Kidneys. Damp-Cold may
weaken Kidney-Yang while Damp-Heat may injure Kidney-Yin.
Organs
The organs which are most involved in Painful-Urination Syndrome are the Spleen, Kidneys,
Lungs, Bladder, Liver, Triple Burner and Small Intestine.
Spleen
The Spleen transforms and transports fluids and its deficiency leads to the formation of
Dampness which may settle in the urinary system.
Kidneys
The influence of the Kidneys on the urinary function has just been described above.
Lungs
The relationship between Lungs and Bladder has also been described above.
Bladder
The Bladder not only stores and excretes urine but also transforms it by the power of Qi. This is
the very last stage in the transformation of fluids in the urinary function. However, this Bladder
function is subordinate to Kidney-Yang which provides the Qi for the Bladder's function of
transformation.
Liver
The Liver spreads Qi smoothly in every part of the body and therefore also in the Lower Burner.
Specifically, its channel flows to the genitalia and urethra. Stagnation of Liver-Qi affects the
Bladder so that it cannot transform urine properly. This leads to hypogastric distension and
Painful-Urination Syndrome.
