摘要
Post-menopausal urethral syndrome is a morbid condition characterized by frequent urination and dysuria due to changes in the bladder and urethra subsequent to lack of estrogens1. Clinically, this syndrome is often misdiagnosed as urinary infection and mis-treated with antibiotics. Although the disease could be treated with estrogens as a replacement therapy, the potential risk of carcinogenesis and other adverse reactions discovered in recent years leads to a poor acceptance of this modality. From December 2000 to February 2003, we treated 40 cases of the disease with a formula called Niao Chang Shu Fang (尿畅舒方) and obtained satisfactory results. This is reported as follows.
