['s clinical experience of hierachical acupuncture at acupoints of conception vessel in treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia].

The paper introduces professor 's academic thought and clinical experience in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is believed that the pathogenesis of BPH includes retarded movement of triple energizers and dysfunction of the bladder in activity, resulting in impairment of water metabolism, and difficulty in micturition occurs. In treatment, acupuncture is delivered at the muscle region (membrane) of the body to promote circulation. The needles are inserted at the acupoints of conception vessel to different depths. The shallow insertion is operated at Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4) to benefit movement of triple energizers, the moderate insertion is at Zhongji (CV 3), the front- point of the bladder, to benefit the intersections (membranes) of triple energizers, and the deep insertion is at Qugu (CV 2) to work at the internal organ, regulate , remove obstruction. As a result, the movement of triple energizers is improved, the function of the bladder in activity recovered, urination ameliorated and the retention of urine cured.
