Since Jan. 1975 acupuncture antiphlogosis as the routine has been used in the treatment of varieties of operations or the cases of inflammatory infections in department of gynecology and obstetrics. We have treated 2037 cases within four years. Now, the curative effect of 366 cases of operations with bacteria and inflammatory infection are mentioned as follows:
Selection of Points and Methods
The four "Liao points" of both sides. A long needle is inserted from Xialiao, Zhongliao, Ciliao to Shangliao under the skin and close to the sacrum by applying strong stimulation, but without retaining of the needle.
The both Quchi and Zusanli points. The needle is inserted to a depth of 1.5 cun.
The needling method is like this: insert the needle for three times and withdraw once. When the needle is inserted to a depth of half cun, rotate it to the left side for several times. All are used with strong stimulation and without the retention of the needle. The more sensitive of distension and numbness, the better the effect. The needle should be withdrawn rapidly and the needle hole should be pressed for a little while. As soon as the operation is finished, puncture "Zusanli point" and the "Four-Liao points", then the patient is sent to his ward. The "Quchi point" should be needled the next day, and continued for 3-7 days, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The duration of acupuncture may be even longer for some patients.
No antiphlogistic is used during the process of acupuncture. For the nonoperated inflammatory infection, only the both "Quchi points" are used with the same method as mentioned above.
Observations of Effect
All the 366 cases were those of operations with bacteria and inflammatory infection. The body temperature of most patients was higher than 38ºC. The total leukocyte count was 10,000-30,000/mm{3}. All the inflammations including the repair of uro-fistula, pelvic abscess and puerperal infection were relieved by acupuncture. The curative effect was very evident. The hospitalized time is about 10 days for various abdominal operations with bacteria and it is about 8.6 days on an average for all the cases. Among the 366 cases, only 7 cases which were failed by acupuncture were recovered by antibiotics treatment. The curative rate was 98.1%. Another 8 cases whose curing time were prolonged were recovered after applying several dressings. In clinical treatment it requires correct selection of points and grasping the acupuncture manipulation. And it is the key importance for achieving the good results.
Changes in the Body after Acupuncture
After acupuncture the body temperature will drop quickly and become normal in 2 or 3 days. It also has a regulating function on the leukocyte count.
Acupuncture will also increase the level of estrogens. When the vaginal smear is observed at the midtime of non-menstrual period, a lot of keratinized cells can be seen. After caesarian section the secretion of breast milk will be increased. After acupuncture, the ascending curves will become steep, the inflow time is decreased, the descendent curves dropped more quickly and the dicrotic pulse waves have no obvious changes when the rheogram is observed.
Cases not Suitable for Selection
The acupuncture is mainly to bring into play the ability of resisting bacteria in the body, and to bring the propagation of bacteria under control and finally to do away with the bacteria. The cases such as septicemia, serious dystrophy, the worst resisting conditions and disfunction of self-defence are not suitable for selection.
