Treatment of Prostatic Hyperplasia by Plum-blossom-magnet-needle Synthetic Therapy A Report of 149 Cases

摘要

Purpose: To observe the therapeutic effect of plum-blossom-magnet-needle synthetic therapy on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Method: 219 cases of BPH patients were randomly divided into two groups. There were 149 cases in treatment group, which treated by pressing, needling with plum-blossom-magnet-needle and putting effect-increasing pads on Prostate Reflex Area, bilateral Zhongliao (BL 32), Neck 1, Neck 7, Mingmen (GV 4) and Yongquan (KI 1). There were 70 cases in control group, which treated by orally taken Terazosin Hydrochloride (Gaoteling) tablets, 2 mg/time, twice a day. The therapeutic course was 4 weeks. After one therapeutic course, the therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results: The marked effect rate was 63.3% and total effective rate was 91.8%; in the control group, there were no markedly effective cases and the total effective rate was 72.7%. There was a significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The plum-blossom-magnet-needle synthetic therapy had a significant therapeutic effect for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so it was a safe and effective therapy for BPH.
