Methods Fifty-four patients with postoperative urinary retention of anorectal diseases under routine nursing care in Haian Hospital were selected as the control group, and 54 patients who underwent moxibustion combined with acupuncture and massage intervention were selected as observation group. The ef?cacy, mean and ?rst urination time, effective time and marked effective time were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate of observation group was 91%, which was higher than that of the control group (50%) (P <0.05). The average urination time and ?rst urination time of the observation group were (54.02±5.28) min and (32.08±4.15) min, respectively, and those in the control group were ( 72 . 26 ± 8 . 64 ) min and ( 46 . 38 ± 5 . 53 ) min (P < 0 . 05 ). The effective time and marked effective time of the observation group were ( 31 . 15± 5 . 02 ) min and ( 22 . 18± 6 . 73 ) min, respectively, which were shorter than those of the control group [(35.52±6.37) min and (28.41±5.86) min] (P<0.05). Conclusion The moxibustion combined with acupoint massage in treatment of patients with urinary retention after anorectal disease can effectively improve the curative effect and shorten the urination time, which is worthy of promotion.
