ʹs academic thought and clinical experience in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is believed that the pathogenesis of BPH includes retarded
qi
movement of triple energizers and dysfunction of the bladder in
qi
activity
resulting in impairment of water metabolism
and difficulty in micturition occurs. In treatment
a
cupuncture is delivered at the muscle region (membrane) of the body to promote
qi
circulation. The needles are inserted at the acupoints of conception vessel to different depths. The shallow insertion is operated at Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4) to benefit
qi
movement of triple energizers
the moderate insertion is at Zhongji (CV 3)
the front-
mu
point of the bladder
to benefit the intersections (membranes) of triple energizers
and the deep insertion is at Qugu (CV 2) to work at the internal organ
regulate
qi
remove obstruction. As a result
the
qi
movement of triple energizers is improved
the function of the bladder in
qi
activity recovered
urination ameliorated and the retention of urine cured.
