🚹 Post-Prostatectomy Urinary Incontinence & Electroacupuncture—What the Evidence Shows

Urinary leakage after prostate surgery is common, distressing, and often overlooked in men’s pelvic care. A recent randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open found that sacral electroacupuncture nearly doubled early continence recovery compared to sham treatment.

This blog breaks down:
• The study design & outcomes
• Why the Baliao points matter
• How EA supports pelvic floor recovery from both TCM and biomedical perspectives
• Practical, clinic-ready takeaways for acupuncturists working in pelvic health

If you treat pelvic floor dysfunction—or want to better support men after prostate surgery—this research is worth your time.

One of the first bodywork tools I ever purchased were Bongers, they’re a percussive tissue mobilization tool.

They’re great for relieving tension by increasing circulation to big muscle groups! I especially love using them on the glutes.

Dyspareunia: when intimacy is painful, the pelvis is asking for support — not silence.

Swipe ➡️ to explore how Western medicine and TCM understand dyspareunia and where acupuncture fits into pelvic pain care.

🔹 Prevalence: ~10–20% of those assigned female at birth
🔹 Western definition: Pain with pe*******on
Common causes include:
• Infection
• Gynecological pathologies
• Pelvic floor imbalances
• Hormonal changes
• Psycho-emotional trauma or stress states

🔹 TCM patterns (cause-dependent, but commonly):
• Cold in the Uterus
• Qi & Blood Stagnation
• Damp Heat
• Liver Blood Deficiency

🔹 Can acupuncture help?
Research shows overall positive effects, with statistically significant improvements in pain during manual ge***al stimulation — supporting acupuncture as a meaningful modality in dyspareunia care.

🔹 Commonly used points:
SP6 • ST36 • CV3 • CV4 • BL31–34
• Pelvic floor local needling

✨ Dyspareunia is multifactorial — and so is effective treatment.

Vulvodynia: when vulvar pain has no clear cause — but deserves real care.

Swipe ➡️ to learn how Western medicine + TCM approach vulvodynia and where acupuncture fits into evidence-informed pelvic care.

🔹 Prevalence: ~7–10% of people
🔹 Western definition: Chronic vulvar pain lasting >3 months with no identifiable cause
• Clitorodynia → chronic cl****al pain
• Vestibulodynia → pain at the vaginal opening, often burning, stinging, pinching, or rawness

🔹 TCM patterns commonly involved:
• Liver Qi Stagnation
• Blood Deficiency
• Blood Stasis
• Damp Heat

🔹 Can acupuncture help?
Clinical trials and RCTs show acupuncture may reduce pain and improve sexual function in localized provoked vulvodynia. While larger studies are still needed, outcomes are clinically meaningful and promising.

🔹 Commonly used points:
SP6 • ST36 • Zigong • CV3 • CV4 • BL31–34 • GV24
• Pelvic floor local needling

✨ This is pelvic pain care that goes deeper than symptom suppression.
