Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Recently I have a male patient, middle 30, gay, was diagnosed prostadynia 7 years ago. Main complains: pelvic wall contraction, frequent urination, dribbling urine, muscle spasm and pressure on left low abdominal area. Sometimes ejaculation relief the pressure, other time it makes contraction. Irregular bowl movement, either diarrhea or constipation. Physical exam: no prostate inflammation, no bacteria. prostate and urine track are normal. After acupuncture treatment, he felt better for few days, less pressure and frequency, but the symptoms never completely go away. Does any one have similar case? Any suggestion?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 What is your pattern differentiation? Pulse? Tongue? I have some ideas for prescription, but I need that information first.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Look for a sphenoid - pelvic connection, where the former may have set up the latter in terms of dysfunction. A sphenoid shift can cause a pelvic congestion, stagnation, even a physical shift, which in turn can cause urinary and prostatic problems. The pelvic wall contraction can mean a bone shift, or a contraction in the musculature which lines the pelvic cavity. This in turn reflects upon the bowel in a functional rather than organic way. To exclude a sphenoid shift palpate for tenderness: BL 2, Yu yao at mid eyebrow; UB 10 and a point above it in the nuchal groove. If any of these becomes less tender by massaging SI 3, sphenoid shift is more or less confirmed. To exclude a pelvic shift palpate for tenderness: ASIS, attachment of abdominal muscles to inguinal ligament, CV 4 and 5. Also palpate the reflections at TMJ and TW 17, as well as Evil Wind point just inferior to it. If there is a sphenoidal-pelvic shift, no amount of Rx with caupuncture points will have nay lasting effect. If there is a sphenoidal-pelvic shift, simply adjusting this will ameliorate all problems, most in 1st Rx, all in some 3 or 4 more. Dr. Holmes Keikobad MB BS DPH Ret.
