Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) refers to a type of disease in which the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues are damaged or function impaired due to various reasons, leading to pelvic floor muscle relaxation and thus causing uncontrolled urine outflow. In this paper, the clinical literature of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with modern rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence in recent years was reviewed and analyzed. It was found that the combined application of acupuncture and modern rehabilitation therapy could more effectively improve the clinical efficacy and cure rate of stress urinary incontinence. This indicates that acupuncture combined with modern therapy has more significant curative effect and advantages in the treatment of stress incontinence, which has certain reference significance and research value for the future clinical treatment of stress incontinence.
