SP Qixu: SP Governs Water Movemen, therefore SP Disharmony impairs

urination; It is very common to have CPPS from SP Qixu esp if

pollakisuria & distention in pelvis are most predominant symptoms; w

SP Qixu signs, accompanying congestion in pelvis is often dt Damp;

Other common SP Qi SSs are bloating, faeces loose & sticky, fatigue,

breath shortness, sinus headaches, soft voice & a scalloped tongue;

Damp can also be factor w SP; SP09 is effective for SP Qi Xu w Damp;

SP09 + ST40 is effective to Drain Damp; SP09 + LU05 can be used to

Rectify Qi in Taiyin; use SP03 is for more Xu; If there is tightness

at SP08, then needling it will help to Move Stag in Channel; This is

esp powerful when combined w BL58;

 

LV Qizhi / Qiyu: If problem derives from referred pain dt muscle

tightness, LV Qizhi / Qiyu may be problem; SSs include a string like

pulse, rib side pain, stress & headache; LV Channel encircles

genitalia & is esp important to consider it; If LV is root problem,

combination of LV03 + LV14 is effective; Use LV02 if there is also

Heat from lv Qizhi / Qiyu; GB34 can relax tight muscles; for genital

/ scrotum pain, LV05 (Luo Pt), can be effective to Open LV Channel;

 

KI Xu: KI Governs Water & most aspects of urination, incl production

of urine & opening & closing of BL; KI Qixu could be root of

inhibited pollakisuria if it is accompanied by loin weakness, knee

weakness & Pulse weak; Also, KI is more likely to be root in older

men & those who have had symptoms for an extended period of time;

KI03 + KI07 are both effective to Tone KI; Use KI07 for Yangxu

predominance; CV04, GV04 & BL23 all Tone KI & are local points to

bring Qi-Xue to area;

 

BL Channel Stag: BL Channel Stag can cause painful & inhibited

urination; BL Channel & organ are always involved w chronic

prostatitis; it is helpful to treat BL; palpate BL Channel on leg esp

at BL58 (Luo Pt); If this point is tight, deep needling upwards to

Open BL Channel can be effective; BL65 is also effective to Free deep

BL Channel Stag; CV03 (Mu Pt) also is important;

 

Local points also are important; CV03,CV04 & KI12 can be used for

pollakisuria; for Yangxu, use moxa to Warm Yang; If after a few

treatments, there is no improvement in pollakisuria, low frequency

electric stimulation on CV & KI Pts can be effective;

 

Local points on loin & sacrum are essential to Ease Pain; BL32, BL33

& GV01 are most important; one should locate BL32 & BL33 precisely &

needle deep enough find Deqi, using a 1.5-2 " needle; CV01 can be

helpful also; instruct patient to massage perineum to relieve muscle
