- Abstract: Urinary incontinence is the most common complication after radical prostatectomy.Traditional Chinese medicine treatments for this disease,such as acupuncture,are diverse and have definite therapeutic effects.The disease is located in the bladder,and its etiology and pathogenesis are mostly related to the dysfunction of the kidney,spleen,triple energizer and other viscera.In view of the insufficiency of kidney essence,decline of the gate of vitality fire(mingmen fire),Qi deficiency leading to impaired bladder containment,compounded by obstruction of meridians from pathogenic factors including blood stasis,damp-heat,and phlegm turbidity.The"Shuanggu Yitong"acupuncture achieves"Dual fortification"through tonifying the kidney and primordial qi consolidation,combined with spleen strengthening and qi supplementation.Additionally,"purging"targets the elimination of blood stasis,phlegm turbidity,damp-heat and other solid evils.This integrated approach combines acupuncture and moxibustion modalities with reinforcing-reducing needle manipulation techniques,simultaneously addressing both the symptoms and root causes of the problem.By coordinating pathogen elimination with constitutional regulation,this method demonstrates favorable therapeutic outcomes in clinical practice and is worthy of further clinical promotion.
