Common complaints

Bladder infection

To know if you have a bladder infection, you can have a urine test done at the doctor's office. An acupuncture treatment should kick in immediately with the first symptoms, otherwise I will refer you to the doctor for an antibiotic prescription.

Incontinence

As women age or because of pregnancy, some form of incontinence may occur. Men can also develop incontinence with age or after a very intense physical exertion period. This is often due to lack of yang energy to hold up urnine.

In both men and women, there may also be an oppressive lower abdominal feeling similar to urge but absence of urine. If this feeling does not go away after several days, treatment is in order.

Bedwetting

In children, this can sometimes go on too long. Once is not a disaster but frequent repetition in children is mainly a mental process. I can give advice in a short intake with the parents and possibly refer them to a specific child acupuncturist.

What can acupuncture do?

First of all, I need to know the cause of your symptoms. It is important that you email me all your symptoms before your first appointment. Once that is clear, I can tailor the treatment accordingly.

For incontinence, I will mainly focus on the yang energy so that urine can be held up, for cystitis it is mainly about treating the acute process and in the long term increasing the resistance so that recurrence happens less frequently or not at all.
