Objective To examine the therapeutic effect of heat sensitive moxibustion combined with abdominal acupuncture therapy and Kegel exercise in treating female stress urinary incontinence （SUI）.Methods Fifty-six female patients with SUI were randomized into treatment group and control group

28 cases in each group.The control group was treated by Kegel exercise and abdominal acupuncture therapy.The treatment group was added heat sensitive moxibustion.Heat sensitive moxibustion was given twice every day （once in the morning

once in the afternoon）

45 minutes to 2 hours each time

for 5 days.From the 6th day

the moxibustion was given once every day

for 25 times.Abdominal acupuncture therapy was given once every day

retaining the needle for 25 min each time

for 30 days.Kegel exercise was given three times every day

15 to 30 minutes each time

for 30 days.Patients’ 1-hour pad test leakage volume

leakage times and total scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form （ICIQ-SF） in both groups were examined before and after treatment.The clinical effect was evaluated.Results The total effective rate of clinical effect in the treatment group was 96.43%

while 75.00% in the control group.The treatment group was superior to the control group （P < 0.05）.Compared before treatment

patients’ 1-hour pad test leakage volume

leakage times and ICIQ-SF total scores in both groups decreased after treatment （P <0.01）.Compared with the control group

patients’ 1-hour pad test leakage volume

leakage times and ICIQ-SF total scores in the treatment group decreased （P < 0.05）.Conclusion Heat sensitive moxibustion combined with abdominal acupuncture therapy and Kegel exercise treating female SUI might improve female leakage symptoms of incontinence and improve their life quality.
