Analysis of effect of TCM comprehensive therapy combined with acupoint application on the prevention of constipa-tion in patients after anorectal disease surgery
Objective:To analyze the effect of TCM comprehensive therapy combined with acupoint application on the pre-vention of constipation in patients after anorectal disease surgery.Methods:106patients after anorectal disease surgery admitted to our hospital from January 2020to February 2023were selected and randomly divided into study group and control group,with 53cases in each group.Patients in the study group received TCM comprehensive therapy combined with acupoint application to prevent postoperative constipation while patients in the control group were only given acupoint application to prevent postoperative constipation.The postoperative first defecation time,constipation TCM syndrome,constipation symptoms,quality of life(PAC-QOL)and occurrence of postoperative complications during treatment were observed in the two groups of patients.Results:After intervention,the first defecation time in study group was earlier than that in control group(P<0.05).The constipation TCM syn-drome score,constipation symptoms and PAC-QOL scores were lower in study group than those before intervention(P<0.05),and the above scores were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).During intervention,the incidence rate of complications was significantly lower in study group than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of TCM therapy com-bined with acupoint application in postoperative rehabilitation of patients with anorectal diseases can promote the postoperative first defecation,prevent and improve the constipation symptoms,enhance the quality of life and reduce the risk of postoperative com-plications.
