Observation on The Effect of Wrist-ankle Acupuncture Combined with Pressing Acupuncture in Preventing Post-hemorrhoidectomy Urinary Retention
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of Wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with pressing acupuncture to prevent postoperative urinary retention after surgical treatmentformixed hemorrhoids.Methods:66 patients with mixed hemorrhoids after op-eration were randomly divited into the control and observation group(33 patients per group).The control group used pressing acu-puncture,and the observation group was given Wrist-ankle acupuncture treatment based on pressing acupuncture.The time point of first postoperative urination,urine output,urination patency,abdominal symptoms,and clinical efficacy were observed in two groups.Results:The first urination time of the observation group[(337.58±58.74)min]was shorter than that of the control group[(380.61±62.75)min](P<0.05),the first urination volume[(241.52±65.25)mL]was more than that of the control group[(175.45±60.42)mL](P<0.05),and the total effective rate of the observation group(93.94%)was higher than that of the control group(75.76%),which the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no adverse reac-tions such as curved needles and fainting needles during the treatment of both groups.Conclusion:Wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with pressing acupuncture to prevent urinary retention after mixed hemorrhoids can significantly shorten the patient's first urination time,promote smooth urination,and improve abdominal symptoms,which the effect is significant,safe and reliable.
