Urinary retention after surgery is caused by inadvertent damage to the muscles and nerves around the bladder during the operation, which results in the suppression of the urination reflex, or the postoperative pain that causes sphincter spasm and dysuria. It is a common complication after anorectal disease, with an incidence rate of up to 52%, which seriously affects the daily life of patients. It has been clinically discovered that acupuncture at Xinbaliao point can effectively improve urinary retention, relieve swelling in the lower abdomen, and improve the quality of life of patients. In this report, we present a case of postoperative urinary retention that had been treated with acupuncture at the Xinbaliao point.
