Clinical commentary 臨床

子淋, child dribbling, is painful frequent urination in pregnancy, and the chapter gives it six formulas — more than any other complication in this section. That reflects how common it is. **Urinary infection in pregnancy carries a risk of pyelonephritis and preterm labour, and requires antibiotic treatment.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
