In the Golden Cabinet (《金匮要略》) tradition, strangury (淋病) is a disease/condition described in the Essential Prescriptions (金匮要略, ch.13) — WHO #1688 淋证 as synonym — characterized by millet-like urinary particles, tense lower abdomen, and pain radiating to the umbilicus. A historical disease-category for reference, not a diagnostic or treatment guide.
