Immediate effect of acupuncture on pelvic floor structure in stress urinary incontinence: a case report
2022 Feb 23 Acupuncture in Medicine Song X, Li Z, Ming S, Guan L, Wang X, Zhang X, et al.
The normal recommendations from “Practical Pelvic Floor Ultra-sound Diagnosis” are as follows: BND < 25 mm, URA < 45° and RVA < 140°. In this case, we observed that BND, URA and RVA were decreased after acupuncture at CV3, which suggested that this intervention decreased the mobility of the bladder neck and proximal urethra, suggesting an immediate improvement in functional pelvic floor structure in this SUI patient. Although no firm conclusions can be drawn from this single, uncontrolled case study, this phenomenon is worthy of further investigation and may be one mechanism underlying the acupuncture treatment of SUI.
