In China, traditional Chinese medicine tends to be the treatment of choice for SUI. Case presentation: We present a 35-year-old patient who developed SUI following forceps delivery and was treated successfully with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Traditional Chinese diagnosis, including channel and acupoint palpation revealed the patient had a syndrome pattern of liver/kidney deficiency, disordered bladder qi transformation, all of which lead to enuresis. Acupuncture, both body and scalp needling, were performed. Herbs were prescribed adjunctively. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine modalities may be considered for treatment of SUI based on appropriate syndrome pattern assessment.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095754816300709Stress urinary incontinenceTraditional Chinese medicineAcupunctureScalp acupunctureChinese herbs |
