The cause of bladder cancer is due to external dampness and heat, internal deficiency of kidney energy, failure to transform water and dampness, and stagnation of dampness and heat into toxicity, which is caused by the downward injection of dampness and heat into the bladder. As pointed out in “The Essentials of the Golden Horoscope”, “heat in the lower jiao leads to blood in urine”.
This disease occurs mainly due to the deficiency of kidney qi, the inability of the bladder to transform dampness and heat, and the onset of dampness, heat, stasis and toxicity in the bladder. It is characterized by recurrence after cure. In clinical practice, Chinese and Western medicine can be combined with herbal medicine, electrocautery and Cetippe infusion. The damp-heat type is mostly in the early stage of the disease, which is caused by damp-heat in the lower jiao and evil toxins in the bladder, so it is advisable to clear the heat and detoxify the bladder, and to benefit the dampness and attack the cancer; while the main evidence is weakness in the spleen and kidney deficiency type, so it is advisable to strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney and detoxify the cancer.
