Objective To analyze the effect of neostigmine acupoint injection for urinary retention after anorectal surgery. Methods A total of 60 patients with urinary retention after anorectal surgery in our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were reviewed. 30 patients in the control group received gluteal muscle injection of neostigmine, and 30 patients in the observation group received acupoint injection of neostigmine. The urination and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the first urination time, maximum urination volume, and residual urine volume in the observation group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Acupoint injection of neostigmine is effective in treating urinary retention after anorectal surgery, effectively improves the patients urination, and has a high safety of medication.
