Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion in the treatment of urinary retention after anorectal surgery, and to evaluate its impact on nursing satisfaction. Methods A total of 80 patients with postoperative urinary retention who underwent surgical treatment in the Anorectal Department of the hospital from February 2021 to July 2021 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and a traditional Chinese medicine group, with 40 cases in each. The control group was provided with routine nursing and the TCM group was provided with moxibustion on the basis of routine nursing. The curative effect, bladder residual urine volume and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate of the TCM group was 95.0%, much higher than 72.5% of the control group, P<0.05; the difference in bladder residual urine volume between the two groups before treatment was not significant (P>0.05), but after treatment, compared with treatment The difference between the two groups was significantly higher in the traditional Chinese medicine group than in the control group, P<0.05; the nursing satisfaction of the traditional Chinese medicine group was 100.0%, while the control group was only 80.0%, the comparison between the groups, P<0.05. Conclusion The use of moxibustion in the treatment of patients with urinary retention after anorectal surgery has a good effect, which can promote the gradual smooth urination, gradually reduce the residual urine volume in the bladder, and finally restore the normal urination behavior of the patients.
