Introduction

Urinary retention is the inability to void despite a full bladder, resulting in an increased postvoid residual
urine volume (PVR). Urinary retention is not a life-threatening disorder, but it gives the patient a lot of
discomfort. Excessive bladder expansion and chronic detrusor damage can result from urinary retention.
Urinary retention can lead to secondary urinary tract infections, reflux nephropathy, bladder rupture,
kidney failure, and other significant complications if not treated promptly. Indwelling catheters are
commonly used in clinical practice to treat urine retention; nonetheless, patients may find catheterization
upsetting, undignified, and uncomfortable.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of small, solid metallic needles into the skin, which are then
stimulated by the practitioner's hands using delicate, specific movements or by electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture is a method of Traditional Chinese medicine with thousands of years of history.
The acupoints used in this study were located using the Nomenclature and Location of Acupuncture
Points of the People's Republic of China's National Standard. The acupuncturist utilized disposable sterile
needles (0.30 mm 40 mm) and disinfected the skin of the acupoints on a regular basis.
The degree of injury and length of hospital stay determined whether patients received only one therapy
session or multiple sessions. If the urinary catheter was removed, acupuncture began right away, lasting
30 minutes for one treatment session; patients who were able to void spontaneously after one treatment
session and had a qualified post-void residual did not need to receive acupuncture any longer; otherwise,
they needed to re-insert the urinary catheter and receive additional treatment sessions. A typical therapy
time consists of three treatment sessions; after three treatment sessions, the patient is discharged.

Conclusion
The findings imply that acupuncture should be investigated as an alternate treatment for urine retention in
clinical practice, and that urinary catheters should not be inserted and removed repeatedly. Traditional
Urinary Retention treatment begins with limit drug exposure
