Objective:To analyze the effect of wrist and ankle acupuncture treatment on alleviating discomfort and promoting lactation in postpartum women with physiological breast swelling and pain.Method:200 postpartum women with physiological breast swelling and pain who underwent treatment from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly divided into a control group(n=100)and an observation group(n=100).The control group received traditional Chinese medicine cold compress combined with breast acupoint massage therapy.The observation group received wrist and ankle acupuncture treatment on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy and breast swelling and pain degree before and after treatment were compared between the two groups The levels of inflammatory factors,breast hardness,and milk secretion were measured and compared for complications.Result:The total effective rate of clinical treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of Breast pain digital scoring system(NRS)before treatment(P＞0.05).After 24 hours of treatment,48 hours of treatment and 72 hours of treatment,the NRS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the levels of inflammatory factors between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After 3 days of treatment,the levels of Interleukin 6(IL-6)and C-reactive protein(CRP)in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in breast hardness and milk secretion between the two groups of pregnant women before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the observation group had significantly lower breast hardness and significantly more milk secretion(P＜0.05).The total incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Implementing wrist and ankle acupuncture treatment for postpartum women with physiological breast pain can effectively alleviate breast pain,exert anti-inflammatory effects,promote lactation,and reduce complications.
