Mild moxibustion for the prevention and treatment of bladder spasms after transurethral resection of the prostate

Abstract

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of mild moxibustion on preventing and treating bladder spasms after transurethral resection of the prostate. Method: The control group patients were given routine perioperative care, while the experimental group patients were given mild moxibustion on Taixi, Zhongji, Qihai, and Shenque points in addition to routine perioperative care. Result: The frequency of bladder spasms, degree of pain, and degree of bladder spasms in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Mild moxibustion is safe and reliable in preventing and treating bladder spasms after transurethral resection of the prostate.
