Perioperative Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing for a Patient with Mixed Hemorrhoids (Damp-Heat Pouring Downward Syndrome)
This paper summarizes the perioperative integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine nursing methods and clinical outcomes for a patient with mixed hemorrhoids (damp-heat pouring downward syndrome). One surgical patient with mixed hemorrhoids complicated by anal papilla hypertrophy (damp-heat pouring downward syndrome) was selected. During the perioperative period, conventional Western medicine specialist nursing was implemented, combined with characteristic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing interventions, including TCM herbal sitz baths, acupoint application, auricular acupressure, abdominal acupoint massage, and syndrome-differentiated dietary guidance. Holistic nursing focused on postoperative pain management, wound healing, bowel movement management, and complication prevention was carried out. The patient's postoperative pain was progressively relieved, perianal edema and perianal eczema resolved, bowel movements became smooth, and no complications such as massive wound bleeding, wound infection, or anal stenosis occurred. The patient was cured and discharged after 4 days of hospitalization and had proficiently mastered the key points of home-based rehabilitation nursing at discharge. This case demonstrates that integrated TCM-WM nursing can effectively alleviate postoperative discomfort, reduce the incidence of complications, and accelerate wound healing in patients with mixed hemorrhoids. It has strong clinical practicality and is suitable for promotion and application in anorectal clinical practice.
