RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of pressing-kneading manipulation combined with herb-insulated moxibustion at Shuidao(ST28)for postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia and its effect on bladder urination function. Methods:A total of 154 patients with postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia were randomly divided into a Western medication group and a herb-insulated moxibustion group,with 77 cases in each group.In the Western medication group,neostigmine sulfate was injected into Zusanli(ST36).In the herb-insulated moxibustion group,after pressing-kneading manipulation at Shuidao(ST28),herb-insulated moxibustion was applied to Shuidao(ST28)with self-made Tong Quan San.Both groups were treated once,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated 5 h after treatment.The first urination time,first urination volume,average urinary flow rate,bladder residual urine volume,hospitalization days,and costs were recorded. Results:The total effective rate and markedly effective rate of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were higher than those of the Western medication group(P<0.05),the time to the first urination and residual urine volume in the bladder of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were shorter or smaller than those of the Western medication group(P<0.01),the first urination volume and average urine flow rate of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were larger than those of the Western medication group(P<0.01).There were no significant differences in the hospitalization days and costs between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:Pressing-kneading manipulation combined with herb-insulated moxibustion at Shuidao(ST28)can effectively treat postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia and improve bladder urination function.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device(LNG-IUD) in the treatment of adenomyosis in perimenopausal period. Methods: A total of 92 patients with adenomyosis in perim enopausal period were treated with LNG-IUD and followed up at the 3rd,6th, 12th,24th month. Change of menses, uterine volume,visual analogue scale (VAS) of dysmenorrhea,the serum CA_(125) level and degree of satisfaction with the treatment were observed. Results:The dysmenorrhea was alleviated along with the follow-up time in all of the pa tients after insertion of the LNG-IUD ( P<0.05). The menstrual volume, uterine volume and serum CA_(125) level were decreased significantly(P<0.05) .Conclusions:LNG-IUD is a safe, effective and simple treatment of adenomyosis in perimenopausal period.
