Clinical Observation Of Electroacupuncture In Treating Anal Pain After Mixed Hemorrhoids Operation

Objective:This project investigates the effects of electro-acupuncture treatment on post-operative pain,oedema,limb mobility,first urination and first defecation in patients with mixed haemorrhoids,thus demonstrating that electro-acupuncture treatment of Foot San Li,Cheng Shan,Large Intestine Yu and He Gu can effectively relieve post-operative anal pain and reduce the occurrence of post-operative complications in patients with mixed haemorrhoids,and provide an effective and safe analgesic solution for post-operative pain patients with an effective and safe analgesic solution.Methods:From March 2022 to January 2023,60 patients were selected from the Department of Anorectal Medicine of Fuzhou Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,who were diagnosed with mixed hemorrhoids(damp-heat infiltration type)and all of them underwent external and internal hemorrhoidectomy,and were randomly divided into two groups(treatment group and control group).In the treatment group,on top of the conventional treatment,electro-acupuncture was added to the treatment of Foot San Li,Cheng Shan,Large Intestine Yu and Hegu points.The changes in anal pain,the amount of painkillers taken,edema of the wound edges,limb mobility,first urination and first defecation were observed in the two groups at 1,2,3,4 and 5 d after surgery,and the observation indexes were recorded and statistically analysed.Results:1.Statistical analysis of age,gender,number of mixed haemorrhoids and pre-treatment pain scores between the treatment and control groups showed no statistically significant differences(P>0.05)and were comparable;2.No statistically significant differences were found between the treatment group and the control group in terms of edema of the trabecular margin,first urination and the amount of painkillers taken on postoperative day 1(P>0.05);3.The difference between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant(P<0.05)in the first postoperative bowel movement,and the treatment group was better than the control group,indicating that electro-acupuncture treatment can effectively improve the postoperative bowel movement and promote the bowel movement;there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05)between the two groups in the postoperative day 2to day 5 in the edema of the trabecular edge,the amount of painkillers taken,and the VAS score,and the treatment group was better than the control group in the improvement.Indicating that electroacupuncture treatment could effectively relieve postoperative pain,reduce edema of the trabecular edge and reduce the consumption of painkillers;4.From post-operative day 1 to day 5,the comparison between the treatment group and the control group in terms of limb mobility was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the treatment group was significantly more effective than the control group,indicating that electro-acupuncture treatment can effectively promote post-operative recovery and improve the quality of life after surgery.5.The overall efficacy was 93.3% for the treatment group and 83.3% for the control group.The overall efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group,which was statistically significant(P<0.05),showing that the treatment group had certain therapeutic effects in relieving postoperative pain,reducing edema at the trauma edge,reducing the amount of painkillers taken,promoting postoperative defecation and postoperative recovery.Conclusion:Electro-acupuncture treatment of Foot San Li,Cheng Shan,Large Intestine Yu and He Gu can effectively relieve patients’ post-operative pain of mixed hemorrhoids,reduce the amount of painkillers taken,ease the burden of post-operative medication,promote post-operative bowel discharge,reduce anal edge edema and promote post-operative recovery,and no adverse effects were observed during the treatment.
