| Research Abstract |
The demand for self-care for dysuria has recently been increasing. In the present study, we examined the influence of light touch-pressure stimulation to the perineum on inhibited urination in healthy subjects. We observed that the subjects had significantly inhibited urination following touch-pressure stimulation to the perineum as compared to the control condition, wherein touch-pressure stimulation was applied to the cervix(P<0.001). Moreover, micturition was significantly inhibited at 2-3 min after stimulation(P<0.05) and 3-4 min after stimulation(P<0.01), compared to that before stimulation of the perineum. Thus, these findings indicate that light touch-pressure stimulation to the perineum is anovel procedure that could improve the quality of life in patients with dysuria such as nocturia.
