Methods A total of 41 patients undergoing anal ?ssure surgery who were treated with Chinese medicine bath intervention were selected as the control group. Forty-one patients with anal ?ssure surgery who were treated with bath and acupuncture massage were used as observation group. The ?rst defecation time, symptom score, pain level and wound healing time were compared between the two groups. Results The first defecation time in the observation group was ( 1 . 62 ± 0 . 58) d, which was shorter than that of the control group [(2.51±0.62) d]. The symptom score of the observation group was (6.38±0.89) points, which was lower than that of the control group [(8.21±0.95) points], with statistical significance (P<0.05). The pain levels at 1, 2 and 4 d after intervention in the observation group were (4.76±0.21), (3.91±0.16) and (1.15±0.14), respectively, which were lighter than those in the control group (P<0.05); the wound healing time of the observation group was (15.83±2.96) d, which was shorter than that of the control group [(21.49±3.27) d], and the difference was statistically signi?cant (P<0.05). Conclusion Chinese herbal medicine bath combined with meridian massage for patients after anal fissure surgery can effectively reduce constipation and pain, and accelerate wound healing, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
