Objective To explore the effect of postoperative comprehensive nursing intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on pain and urinary retention of anal fistula patients undergoing surgery. Methods Totally 76 patients with anal fistula who were operated in our hospital from January 2023 to February 2024 were included. They were divided into the control group (routine postoperative nursing) and the observation group (combined with traditional Chinese medicine comprehensive nursing) using the serial number arrangement method, with 38 cases in each group. The postoperative pain and dysuria such as urinary retention were compared between the two groups. Results The pain scores (6h, 12h, 24h, 48h) of the patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at various time points after surgery, and the incidence of postoperative urinary retention and other dysuria (catheterization, urinary retention, urinary tract irritation) was significantly lower than that in the control group, with significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive nursing intervention of traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve the postoperative pain of patients with anal fistula, reduce the occurrence of dysuria such as postoperative urinary retention, and accelerate the rehabilitation process of patients. It has clinical application value.
