Nursing Experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine Ointment Massage Combined with Acupoint Application for Postoperative Constipation in a Patient with Mixed Hemorrhoids: A Case Report
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of treating postoperative constipation in a patient with mixed hemorrhoids using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ointment massage combined with acupoint application. A characteristic TCM nursing protocol incorporating herbal ointment massage and acupoint sticking was implemented, alongside lifestyle guidance, defecation care, dietary regulation, and emotional counseling. The patient's constipation symptoms improved significantly, with alleviation of pain, resolution of edema, and relief of anxiety. The patient was discharged smoothly with favorable outcomes during follow-up. This protocol is simple to perform with minimal adverse effects, providing an effective reference for nursing care of postoperative constipation in patients with mixed hemorrhoids.
