Summary

Background:

Hemorrhoid is one of the most common chronic anorectal diseases. The prevalence rate is about 44%. It occurs in adults aged 45-65 years. Hemorrhoidetomy resection is still the standard treatment for grade III and IV hemorrhoid. Urinary retention is one of the most common complications after hemorrhoid surgery, and the complications occur within 24 hours after surgery. The warm water sitz bath is a routine nursing care after hemorrhoid surgery in the clinic. The purpose is to provide moist heat of the perineum and anus to clean, promote healing and drainage, relieve pain, stimulate urination and promote relaxation. In contrast, all current studies, warm water sitz bath intervention time is the first day after surgery, the complications within 24 hours after surgery are not alleviated.

Objective:

The main purpose was to use experimental research methods to verify the effect of early warm water sitz bath on urinary retention after hemorrhoidectomy. The secondary objective was the effect of early warm water sitz bath on wound pain after hemorrhoidectomy.

Methods:

This study was a single-blind randomized trial in which subjects were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group with symptomatic stage III or IV end hemorrhoid who were admitted to the hospital for hemorrhoidectomy. The experimental group started the warm water bath 6 hours after the end of the operation, while the control group started the warm water sitz bath on the first day after the operation. The investigator assessed the amount of residual urine and wound pain index before and after each operation of the warm water sitz bath after surgery, and each subject was evaluated 8 times until 24 hours after surgery.
