   Yes, it can have that effect in certain patients.

   You can try monitoring/limiting your fluid intake a couple of hours before you have treatment, and try going to the bathroom right before the treatment starts. You can also ask the acupuncturist to pull the needles a few minutes earlier.

   Often times this post treatment urgency fades with time.

   I went for years to an acupuncture doctor and never once had bladder problems as a result of the treatments! However, Ed, we are all different so the next time you go, talk to the acupuncturist about this problem.

   Good luck.

   Since acupuncture relaxes the body, you may want to restrict /reduce your fluid intake before each session. Good luck.
