Both men and women, as they age, may experience the discomfort of bladder relaxation, which is often referred to as “urinary incontinence”. Some people can’t do bumps in the bus, and when they do, they have the urge to urinate; some people can’t laugh, and when they laugh, they have incontinence; eventually, even walking may have the urge to urinate. Because of the long-term impact on the patient’s quality of life, seriously affect the patient’s mental health, so incontinence is also known as “non-fatal social cancer”. Western medical viewpoint “sling” placement can correct the problem of incontinence The incontinence patients seen in the clinic generally have one thing in common: frequent trips to the toilet, afraid to drink water, and become less and less confident when socializing. However, patients are generally unaware of the need for treatment, ashamed to talk about it or consider it irrelevant, so the actual rate of consultation for the disease is very low. In terms of classification, urinary incontinence can be divided into three types: stress incontinence, urge incontinence and functional incontinence, with stress incontinence being the most common. Moreover, among the patients with urinary incontinence, female patients occupy a large part. Data surveys show that the prevalence of female incontinence in China is 31%, but only 7% of them go to the hospital. Why are women prone to urinary incontinence problems? The original is the pelvic floor dysfunction “trouble”. Female pelvic floor dysfunction, also known as pelvic floor defects or pelvic floor support tissue relaxation, is a variety of reasons for weak pelvic floor support, and then the pelvic organs displaced chain triggered by the position and function of other pelvic organs abnormalities. The manifestations are lower urinary tract dysfunction, organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, defecation abnormalities, and pelvic pain. Among them, lower urinary tract dysfunction mainly includes urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, nocturia, delayed, interrupted, labored urination, incomplete urination feeling, and urinary retention. Women have to go through a series of pregnancy and childbirth, during which the pelvic floor muscles and nerves are easily damaged, resulting in a weakened control of the urethra, and later, when the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, the phenomenon of “urinary leakage” will be more likely to occur. In recent years, foreign scholars have introduced a new type of mid-urethral “sling” (TVT, TVTO), which uses a synthetic sling material and requires only a small incision in the anterior vaginal wall and pubic bone to place the sling and lift the patient’s flaccid urethra, thus correcting the patient’s incontinence to the maximum extent. The decision to operate is also based on the degree of distress of the patient, who usually undergoes rehabilitation first and then surgery if that does not work, but surgery may be an option for patients with mild to moderate incontinence who are very distressed. Patients with severe urinary incontinence are recommended to receive a series of comprehensive treatments such as pelvic floor rehabilitation device assisted pelvic floor muscle exercise, pelvic floor electromyography, biofeedback therapy, etc. Recommend two rehabilitation exercise methods: 1, pelvic floor muscle exercise. Type I muscle exercise: slowly contract the vagina and anus, reach maximum force for at least 5-10 seconds, slowly relax, and do it repeatedly for 5-10 seconds for 10-15 minutes, or about 100-200 times a day (can be divided); Type II muscle exercise: contract the vagina and anus quickly with maximum force, and then relax immediately, continuously. anus immediately after relaxation, continuous contraction – relaxation 3-5 times, then relaxation, for 10-15 minutes. 2, diaphragm training. Inhale loose abdomen, natural breathing 2-3 times; slowly forceful abdomen, exhale; hold your breath, abdomen does not move; continue to maintain the abdomen, slowly expand the chest and lift the diaphragm; hold your breath, pelvic floor muscle contraction; slowly exhale; can be repeated several times a day for 15-30 minutes; note that the breath holding time depends on individual physical condition, generally 2-3 seconds, people with cardiovascular disease should not hold their breath excessively. Acupuncture can relieve the symptoms of urinary incontinence The so-called heavy urination and incontinence belong to the category of bladder irritation, and age has a certain relationship, because the bladder sphincter muscle relaxation, the automatic recovery process is a little slower than young people; it is also possible that the patient’s own kidney function is weakened, deficiency deficiency. Chinese medicine believes that “incontinence of urine is a deficiency of the kidney, the kidney is the main water, its gas down to the yin. Kidney deficiency of the lower jiao cold, can not warm the water, so urine incontinence.” Therefore, although the location of the disease in the bladder, the pathogenesis is blamed on the deficiency of kidney yang, loss of solidity, “over 40 years, Yin Qi since half”, so urinary incontinence is more likely to occur in the middle-aged and elderly. It is often said that old age and physical decline, deficiency of Qi, and if the kidney is insufficient. For patients with urinary incontinence, bladder irritation and other discomforts, all can try acupuncture treatment. Traditional acupuncture is mainly through a combination of disease identification and evidence identification. Through acupuncture, needles are stuck for the kidney meridian points in the bladder meridian of the lumbosacral region and the lower abdomen, which can supplement kidney qi, cultivate the kidney and strengthen the root, and benefit qi and fix astringency. On the other hand, considering that the elderly are old and weak, and their nerve function is slow to recover, the emphasis within TCM is on tonicity and diarrhea, i.e., intervention through acupuncture to excite the functionally damaged nerves and relieve symptoms. However, acupuncture treatment also varies from person to person, combining the characteristics of different people’s symptoms and identifying acupuncture points. Many people can feel less urge to urinate and less frequent urination after one or two times, and generally after a course of 10 times, the improvement of symptoms will improve, but some people still need a period of consolidation treatment. In addition, to avoid stimulation of mental factors, many people will experience mental stress bladder irritation, which is not particularly beneficial to treatment.
