Abstract

Objective To observe the treating effect of vitamin B1 injection at three-yinjiao point combined with acupuncture eight-liao point on bladder dysfunction of cervical cancer patients with residual urine 〉 400 ml after radical hysterectomy. Methods 41 patients were selected and randomly divided into the therapy group （22 patients） and the control group （ 19 patients）. They were diagnosed as cervical cancer and carried out radical hysterectomy. 7 days after the operation, their residual urine was more than 400 ml. Both groups were given urinary catheter time opening, bladder douching and replacing tone-off uric bag. Vitamin B1 injection at three-yinjiao point combined with acupuncture eight-liao point was carried out in the therapy group. After 5 days of follow-up, the amounts of residual urine were compared in the two groups. Results The residual urine was （47.6 ± 13.6） ml and bladder capacity was （475.6 ± 14.3 ） ml in the therapy group, but the residual urine was（218.0 ± 17.6） ml and bladder capacity was（476.1 ±11.3） ml in the control group. The difference between the two groups was significant （ P 〈 0. 05 ）. Conclusions Vitamin B1 injection at three-yinjiao point combined with acupuncture has significant effect on bladder dysfunction of cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy. It can improve the recovery of bladder function. Key words: Radical hysterectomy; Bladder dysfunction; Recovery
