Role of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

 

The main manifestations of chronic pelvic pain syndrome are bladder stimulation syndrome, urinary incontinence, and other urinary issues, as well as pain or discomfort of the lower urinary tract, perineum, scrotum, and upper lumbosacral area of the pubic bone.

 

This disease is not an independent disease, but an exclusive diagnosis, with high incidence, multiple etiology and unknown mechanism, which can cause a series of serious symptoms, and is manifested as recovery miscellaneous urinary system diseases bring huge psychological and economic burden to patients.

 

At present, the clinical efficacy of antibiotics, α- receptor blockers, anti-inflammatory drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, and other drugs is not significant. Acupuncture has been widely used in clinical practice, and a large number of studies have proved that acupuncture is effective in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CPPS).

 

In the discussion of the mechanism of action of acupuncture on CPPS, the modern research on the effective mechanism of acupuncture mainly focuses on the research of neural regulation, immune regulation, and analgesic mechanism, especially in the aspect of analgesic mechanism, which can be summarized as local mechanism, spinal cord (segment) level mechanism of analgesic effect and central level mechanism of pain inhibition.

 

Acupuncture is widely used in the clinical treatment of CPPS. Under the condition that the modern research mechanism is not clear and the single treatment method is not effective enough, acupuncture can play a good role in the treatment of CPPS through the unique meridian theory and the application research of nerve regulating acupuncture and moxibustion, which plays an important role in the mechanism of immune regulation and analgesia system, and needs to be further clarified on the basis of its treatment combined with more in-depth theoretical study.

 

However, acupuncture can only inhibit the condition of CPPS. If patients want to get a thorough cure, other treatment methods are needed, such as herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, which has the effect of clearing away metabolic waste, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, and diuretic, so it can effectively alleviate the symptoms, such as urinary discomfort and pelvic pain.

 

In addition, it can also help patients to enhance patients’ immunity at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of preventing recurrences.
