Nursing Report of a Case of Elderly Patient with Chronic Constipation After Transurethral Resection of the Prostate
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard for its treatment. Postoperative recovery is susceptible to constipation, which not only prolongs rehabilitation and increases medical costs but may also lead to complications such as postoperative hemorrhage. This study presents a case of a BPH patient with long-term constipation. Through conventional nursing (disease monitoring, dietary guidance, and psychological intervention) combined with external Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies (auricular acupressure and acupoint application), syndrome differentiation-based nursing was implemented, significantly improving the patient's constipation symptoms and promoting surgical recovery. The patient was eventually discharged smoothly with favorable follow-up outcomes. This case demonstrates that integrated Chinese and Western nursing has a significant effect on perioperative constipation management in BPH patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion and further exploration.
