ABSTRACT
Acupuncture treatment was undertaken for 153 cases with dysurea after radical operation for carcinama of uterine cervix. Eighty-four percent of the patients were forties, fifties or sixties. Seventy percent of them underwent acupuncture treatment within two weeks after the operation. The treatment consisted of one or combination of the following methods:
direct current acupuncture, in situ acupuncture, low-frequency electro-acupuncture and SSP. Acupoints considered to facilitate metabolism in the pelvic cavity and to be related to diurea were selected. The treatment group (fifty cases) had 19.7 days on which average residual urine was less than 50ml, whereas the control group 24.6 days. “Remarkable effect” and “effect” were obtained with SSP in seventy-seven percent of the cases, and with low-frequency electro-acupuncture in seventy-three percent. With the latter, “no effect” was obtained in only two percent of the cases. SSP therapy was effective and gained patients' favor because it gave no anxiety.
