The Clinical Study of Acupuncture's Influence on Gastrointestinal Function after Surgery for Benign Gynecological Tumors
Hai-Jiao Zhang
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influence of acupuncture on gastrointestinal function after surgery for benign gynecological tumors. Methods: A total of 74 patients who underwent surgery for benign tumors from February 2023 to February 2024 in our hospital were selected for the study. They were divided into a control group (n = 37) and an observation group (n = 37) using a random number table method. The control group received conventional intervention, while the observation group received combined acupuncture intervention.The clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. Results: The MTL (mean transit time) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, while the levels of VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), first flatus, disappearance of abdominal distension, first defecation, and length of hospital stay were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture intervention for patients undergoing surgery for benign tumors can effectively improve gastrointestinal function, regulate hormone levels, and prevent adverse reactions, thus having significant value for promotion.
