Abstract：Objective To explore the curative effect of Zhenwu Decoction combined with electroacupuncture on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods There were 180 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia treated in our hospital and enrolled in the current study. They were evenly divided into the control group (90 patients) and experimental group (90 patients). Patients in the control group were treated with electroacupuncture. Patients in the experimental group were treated with Zhenwu Decoction combined with electroacupuncture. Curative effect was observed and compared between two groups. Results After different treatments,the total effective rate (90.00%) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (90.00%), P<0.05. Prostate symptom score of patients in the experimental group (13.33 ± 4.13) was significantly lower than that in the control group (16.76 ± 3.12),P < 0.05. Nocturia times of patients in the experimental group (2.29 ± 1.19) were significantly less than that in the control group (4.24 ± 1.96),P<0.05. Residual urine of patients in the experimental group (47.37 ± 21.53) ml was significantly less than that in the control group (68.95 ± 34.93) ml,P < 0.05. Conclusion Zhenwu Decoction combined with electroacupuncture can effectively reduce the nocturia times and residual urine,and achieve better curative results in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is worthy to be popularized and applied in clinical practice.
