Abstract Objective:To discuss the influence of moxibustion combined with acupoint massage on posto-perative milk yield and breast distending pain in elderly parturient women.Methods:All 196 elderly parturient women were allocated to the observation group and the control group using random number table method,both groups accepted conventional care of Western medicine,and the observation group received moxibustion combined with acupoint massage,for three days.After the treatment,to compare breast pain degrees,breast engorgement and hardness,thoracic and costal distending pain,diet,emotion and milk yield 12 hours and 72 hours after the delivery between both groups.Results:There was no significant difference in breast pain degrees,breast engorgement and hardness,thoracic and costal distending pain,diet and emotion12 hours after the delivery between both groups(P>0.05)of the observation group were higher than these of the control group(P<0.05),the control group was higher than the observation group in the scores of complexion(P<0.05);72 hours after the delivery,breast pain degrees,breast engorgement were relieved in both groups(P<0.05),the scores of thoracic and costal distending pain,diet,complexion and emotion were reduced(P<0.05).72 hours after the delivery,the relief from breast pain and engorgement of the observation group were higher than these of the control group when it was compared with the control group after the treatment(P<0.05),the scores of thoracic and costal distending pain,diet,complexion and emotion were higher than these of the control group(P<0.05),milk yields were higher than these of the control group(P<0.05).No obvious difference happened in the incidences of adverse reaction between both groups(P>0.05).Total effective rate of the observation group was 92.86%(91/98),higher than 81.63%(80/98)of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Moxibustion combined with acupoint massage could increase postoperative milk yield and relieve breast disten-ding pain in elderly parturient women.
