 | | For transient postoperative urinary retention, acupuncture of the Kidney-Bladder Distinct Meridians, with focusing points GV 4, BL 23, and BL 28, has been recommended.11 However, the success rate of this treatment is not known. | | | According to Energetic Meridian acupuncture theory,11 chronic urinary retention can be a feature of patients of Shao Yin or Tai Yin structural biopsychotype. | | | A review of the literature on acupuncture for the treatment of urinary retention revealed various approaches from Traditional Chinese Medicine to classical French Meridian styles of acupuncture.11-13 We report the use of the Kidney-Bladder Distinct Meridian system for successful treatment of postoperative urinary retention. |

| | Finasteride for prostatic hypertrophy |
| | The authors state that the most important result of this trial is the reduction in the need for prostate surgery and in the incidence of acute urinary retention in the finasteride group. | | | It is interesting that the primary endpoint of this study was the improvement in symptoms with finasteride, whereas the most important results were represented by the secondary endpoints (surgery and urinary retention). | | | This study was designed to look at the efficacy of finasteride in improving symptoms and reducing the incidence of urinary retention and prostate surgery in men with symptomatic, enlarged prostate glands. |

| | Your Urinary System and How It Works |
| | The urinary system works with the lungs, skin, and intestines—all of which also excrete wastes—to keep the chemicals and water in your body balanced. | | | Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland that results in urinary frequency and urgency, burning or painful urination (dysuria), and pain in the lower back and genital area, among other symptoms. | | | Your doctor may want to do a urodynamic test if you are having symptoms that suggest problems with the muscles or nerves of your lower urinary system and pelvis (ureters, bladder, urethra, and sphincter muscles). |

| | The Risk of Medical Complications after Female Circumcision |
| | The urinary retention by women studied is common during the first three days after the operation because the girl tries to avoid the pain when the urine irritates the newly operated raw parts of the external genitals. | | | Five of the subjects reported anxiety about the nature of the cyst and thought it might develop into a masculine organ such as a penis. | | | One hundred and eight women of the sample studied experienced late complications of female circumcision such as pain at micturition, clitoral cyst and poor urinary flow (Table 2). |
