Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical therapeutic effects of warming needling combined with Zusanli (ST36) acupoint injection in the treatment of postpartum urinary retention. Methods Total 94 patients with postpartum urinary retention admitted to Obstetrics Ward of Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from August 2016 to June 2017 were divided into treatment group and control group by random number table method, with 47 cases in each group. The control group was given routine Zusanli acupoint injection with Neostigmine Methylsulfate solution, on basis of which, the treatment group was added with warming needling therapy, with the acupoints selection of Guanyuan (CV4), Qihai (CV6), Zhongji (CV3), bilateral Shuidao (ST28), bilateral Yinlingquan (SP9) and bilateral Sanyinjiao (SP6). The treatment lasted for 30 minutes each time, once per day for successive 2 days. The clinical therapeutic effects, the first time for automatic micturition and the bladder residual urine volumes between the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the total effective rate was 91.4% in the treatment group and 66.0% in the control group, with highly statistically significant difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01). After treatment, the first time for automatic micturition and the bladder residual urine volumes in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group respectively, with highly statistically significant difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01). Conclusion Warming needling combined with Zusanli acupoint injection has definite therapeutic effects in the treatment of postpartum urinary retention, which can effectively accelerate the urination and reduce the bladder residual urine volumes and it is superior to the simple acupoint injection therapy.
