1, the explanation of traditional Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that frequent micturition is mainly caused by weak constitution, unstable kidney qi and insufficient bladder restraint ability. In addition, fatigue, spleen deficiency and upper deficiency can not be controlled, soil deficiency can not make water, bladder gasification is weak, and frequent urination occurs. In addition, people with damp heat and stagnation of liver qi are also prone to frequent urination and need to be treated differently.
In winter, the climate is cold, and human soft tissues (skin and blood vessels) contract to keep out the cold, which is more prone to frequent urination. If you urinate too much at night, going to the toilet at night will definitely affect your rest, and if you don't pay attention in winter, you will easily catch a cold, so many people don't want to go to the toilet at night. However, the physiological function of the elderly decreases, and the elasticity of the bladder decreases, which limits the amount of urine stored, so frequent urination is mostly debilitating and needs to be nursed back to health.
2. TCM methods of regulating urinary frequency
1, you can breathe evenly first, and then slowly contract the anus. Tighten when inhaling and relax when exhaling. Contraction of anus can enhance bladder restraint and help prevent frequent urination and urinary incontinence.
2._ Sit down, then put your hands behind your back and keep pushing up and down, about 30 to 50 times, as long as your back is slightly hot. Chinese medicine believes that massage is good for strengthening the waist and kidney, and it will also be helpful for regulating meridians.
3. People can take the supine position, then breathe evenly, and then put their palms on the lower abdomen. First push both sides of the lower abdomen with both hands, and then push down to the center of the abdomen. Remember to be gentle and even, not too heavy. These actions have the advantages of benefiting qi and promoting bladder function, which is helpful to prevent dysuria.

It should be noted that some people have the intention to urinate in order to prevent frequent urination, which is not good for their health.
4. Pay attention to winter TCM health care
1, exercise properly and avoid sweating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that winter belongs to yin, so the essence of yin should be protected and the body fluid should be less discharged. Therefore, it is necessary to "dispel the cold and warm up" in winter to prevent the cold from invading. Outdoor exercise in winter is suitable for health preservation, which can improve the excitability of cerebral cortex, strengthen the central nervous system and body temperature regulation function, make the body balance with the cold climate and environment, adapt to the cold stimulation, and effectively improve the cold resistance of the body.
2, should be diligent and healthy, promote blood circulation. Always keep your feet clean and dry in winter, and wash your socks frequently. Walk for more than half an hour every day to exercise your feet. And insist on rubbing the soles of your feet in the morning and evening to promote blood circulation. It is very important to keep your feet warm in winter. Chinese medicine believes that the foot is the foundation of the human body, the beginning of Yin San Meridian and the end of Sanyang Meridian, which is related to the twelve meridians, viscera and qi and blood. As the saying goes, "cold starts from the feet", because the feet are far away from the heart, the blood supply is insufficient, the heat is low, and the heat preservation is poor, so it is very important to keep the feet warm. Besides keeping your feet warm during the day, it is also a very good practice to wash your feet with hot water every night.
3, should keep warm and prevent diseases, protect the respiratory tract. Low temperature and cold in winter are very easy to induce the recurrence or aggravation of various chronic diseases, and winter is also the season of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Moreover, many diseases begin with a cold and cough. Therefore, we should pay attention to cold and warmth in winter, and the warm parts that the human body should pay special attention to are the neck, back and feet. It is important to keep your neck warm. Both tracheitis and pneumonia begin with respiratory infection. Keep your back warm. Because the back is the yang of the human body, pathogenic factors such as wind and cold can easily invade through the back, causing exogenous diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and so on.
