[Effect on Postoperative Complications of Mixed Hemorrhoids Treated with Electroacupuncture at Chengshan(BL 57), Dachangshu(BL 25)and Erbai(EX-UE 2)].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect on postoperative complications of mixed hemorrhoids treated with electroacupuncture(EA) at Chengshan(BL 57),Dachangshu(BL 25)and Erbai(EX-UE 2).

METHODS: A total of 60 patients with mixed hemorrhoids were randomly divided into control and EA groups,30 cases in each group. In addition to basic treatment, EA was applied at BL 57, BL 25 and EX-UE 2 for 30 min (2 Hz/15 Hz,0.5-2 mA) each day for 3 days after surgery in the EA group, while the control group received basic treatment after surgery. Postoperative complications after treatment were evaluated each day.

RESULTS: Following surgery, anal pain, anal pendant expansion and hematochezia were observed in both the EA group and control group. On the first day after surgery, symptom improvement was not statistically significantly different between the two groups ( P >0.05).On the 2nd and 3rd days after surgery, anal pain, anal pendant expansion and hematochezia were markedly improved in the EA group compared with those in the control group ( P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Electroacupuncture can reduce anal pain, anal pendant expansion and hematochezia after surgery in patients with mixed hemorrhoids.
