To analyze the clinical effect of traditional Chinese herbs on acupoint shenque to manage postpartum urinary retention after vaginal delivery.

Methods:
47 women with postpartum urinary retentions following vaginal delivery from Haidian Maternal and Child Health Hospital (April 2011 to August 2011) were randomly divided into two sub-groups: Shenque acupoint group and intramuscular injection of neostigmine group, and then observed the effects of Shenque acupoint and neostigmine on urinary retention in the two groups.

Results:
61.89% patients in the neostigmine group had an immediate clinical response, while 100% response rate was observed in Shenque acupoint group (p<0.01). Patients in the Shenque acupoint group had a significantly shorter mean voiding time when compared to patients in the neostigmine group (p<0.01).
