Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine ointment at the Baliao acupoint in treating constipation with spleen deficiency and weak Qi in elderly patients after mixed hemorrhoid surgery. Methods 120 elderly patients who underwent mixed hemorrhoid surgery and were accompanied by spleen deficiency and weak qi constipation in the Colorectal Department of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2022 to September 2023 were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 60 patients in each group. The control group was given polyethylene glycol 4000 powder orally, 1 pack/time, 2 times/day. The treatment group was given Baliao acupoint ointment massage therapy on the basis of the control group. Treatment for 2 weeks. Evaluate the clinical efficacy of two groups of patients after treatment, observe and compare the post-treatment (CSS), PAC-QOL scores, weekly spontaneous complete bowel movements (SCBM), anal pain during defecation, anal margin edema, and colon transit test between the two groups. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 91.67%, which was higher than the control group's 78.33%(P ＜0.05). After treatment, the SCBM of the treatment group patients was higher than that of the control group (P <0.05), while the CSS, anal pain during defecation, and anal margin edema of the treatment group patients were lower than those of the control group (P <0.05). The quality of life score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group (P <0.05). The residual markers in the intestinal tract of patients treated for 72 hours were significantly lower than those in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion The use of Baliao acupoint has shown significant efficacy in treating elderly patients with mixed hemorrhoids who suffer from spleen deficiency and weak Qi constipation after surgery, improving their postoperative quality of life.
