Early electroacupuncture for urinary symptoms after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether starting electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) soon after surgery for an enlarged prostate can help reduce urinary symptoms. If you've recently had prostate surgery and are still experiencing urinary issues, this treatment might improve your comfort.
