Anxiety Disorder

Q. When I have an interview or exam, all I want to do is go to the bathroom (stress-related frequent urination).

A.

When you are nervous, the sympathetic nervous system contracts the bladder, causing an urge to urinate. In Korean medicine, this is seen as an "imbalance between the Heart and Kidneys (Simsinbulgyo, Heart-Kidney Disharmony)." Treatment involves warming the lower abdomen and lowering Heart heat to cultivate courage and resilience.

📝 Detailed Answer

방광이 쫄아서 그렇습니다.

  • 과민성: 실제 소변 양은 얼마 안 되는데 느낌만 드는 과민성 방광 증후군입니다.
  • 체온: 긴장하면 손발과 아랫배가 차가워집니다. 핫팩을 붙이면 한결 편안해집니다.
💡 물 조절

중요한 일을 앞두고는 이뇨 작용이 있는 커피, 녹차는 피하고 물 섭취도 줄이세요.
