Nursing Report on Treating Postoperative Abdominal Distension in a Gastric Cancer Patient with Herbal Ointment Massage Combined with Moxibustion Therapy
This article summarizes the nursing experience of managing postoperative abdominal distension in a gastric cancer patient through the combined application of herbal ointment massage and moxibustion therapy. The patient developed persistent abdominal distension with occasional nausea and vomiting one week after admission, which showed poor response to conventional treatments including gastrointestinal decompression, fasting, and prokinetic medications. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles focusing on soothing the liver, strengthening the spleen, resolving phlegm, and dispersing blood stasis, the intervention involved abdominal acupoint application with herbal ointment massage, complemented by moxibustion at Shenque (CV8) and Zusanli (ST36) points, as well as abdominal hot compress therapy. These approaches effectively alleviated distension symptoms, enabling earlier initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy and potentially improving survival outcomes. This case highlights the clinical value of TCM nursing strategies that emphasize liver-spleen regulation and Qi dynamic modulation to enhance gastrointestinal recovery in postoperative cancer patients.
