Abstract
In modern medicine, the therapeutic effect in recurrent urinary tract infection is often unsatisfactory. Lei Genping believes that urinary tract infection is mainly caused by the evil of dampness and heat invading the lower jiao (area below the navel). A prolonged disease course would result in the deficiency of spleen and kidney as well as the stagnation of liver and qi. The initial treatment should focus on clearing heat and detoxifying dampness. In the long run, the treatment criteria include tonifying the spleen and kidney, while clearing heat and dampness as well as regulating liver qi.
