Nursing Experience of Acupoint Application Combined with Hydrocupping Therapy for Frequency in a Patient with Heat Strangury
This article summarizes the nursing experience of treating a patient with damp-heat-induced dysuria by using acupoint patch application combined with water tank therapy to alleviate urinary frequency symptoms. The patient presented with symptoms of frequent urination and difficulty in holding urine (5-6 times during the day and 3-4 times at night), and was diagnosed by traditional Chinese medicine as having damp-heat obstruction and dysfunction of bladder qi transformation (due to deficiency leading to excess, with the excess pathogen being predominant). Based on the principle of "clearing heat and unblocking meridians, avoiding warm therapy with cooling", a unique traditional Chinese medical therapy was implemented, including acupoint patch application and water tank therapy, along with lifestyle adjustment and emotional intervention. After 7 days of intervention, the patient's frequency of urination significantly decreased (3-4 times during the day and 1-2 times at night), the urge to hold urine was relieved, and the quality of life improved. This case demonstrates that the combined application of acupoint patch application and water tank therapy can not only clear heat and promote diuresis but also regulate bladder qi transformation, and is simple to operate and highly safe. It is particularly suitable for patients with damp-heat-induced dysuria and has clinical promotion value.
