Nursing Experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine Care for a Postpartum Patient with Acute Inflammatory Edematous External Hemorrhoids
To summarize the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing experience for a parturient who developed acute inflammatory edematous external hemorrhoids following vaginal delivery.
Methods
2
Based on pattern (syndrome) differentiation, low-intensity rotating moxibustion combined with infusion-type Chinese herbal wet compress was adopted as the core intervention, supplemented by comprehensive measures including dietary guidance, analgesic management, emotional care, and lifestyle instruction.
Results
2
Following the intervention, the patient's symptoms were significantly relieved. The hemorrhoid volume decreased from 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm to 1.0 cm × 0.5 cm; the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain score decreased from 5 to 1; the Anorectal Disease Symptom Scale score decreased from 9 to 2; and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score decreased from 9 to 6. No nursing-related complications occurred. The patient was discharged uneventfully on postpartum day 4, and a one-week telephone follow-up after discharge confirmed no recurrence or aggravation of the hemorrhoids.
Conclusion
2
Compared with single nursing measures, the comprehensive TCM nursing protocol integrating low-intensity rotating moxibustion with infusion-type Chinese herbal wet compress can more rapidly alleviate hemorrhoid edema and relieve pain. This approach is simple to perform and worthy of clinical promotion.
