Traditional Chinese medicine treats urinary hesitancy in several ways.
Herbal medicine is a major approach. Chinese herbs such as Plantago asiatica and Pyrrosia lingua are often used. Plantago asiatica can clear heat and promote diuresis, which is beneficial for improving urinary function. Pyrrosia lingua can also play a role in promoting fluid metabolism and relieving the problem.
Acupuncture and moxibustion are also effective. Acupoints related to the bladder and kidney meridians, such as Zhongji and Sanyinjiao, are usually selected for stimulation. This can help regulate qi and blood circulation in the urinary system, and strengthen the function of the bladder and kidneys to relieve urinary hesitancy. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes lifestyle adjustments like avoiding cold drinks and keeping the lower abdomen warm to assist in the treatment.
