Nursing Experience of Comprehensive Acupuncture Therapy with Fire Dragon Cup for a Patient with Postoperative Pain after Mixed Hemorrhoids Surgery
This article summarizes the nursing experience of applying Fire Dragon Cupping combined with moxibustion therapy to alleviate postoperative wound pain in a mixed hemorrhoid patient. Guided by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and holistic nursing, the intervention integrated Fire Dragon Cupping therapy with specialized TCM nursing measures, emotional counseling, and dietary guidance. After one week of nursing intervention, the patient's pain and anxiety symptoms were significantly relieved. This method demonstrated notable advantages, including minimal adverse effects, high safety, and patient comfort, highlighting its potential for broader clinical application.
