To observe the effect of penetrating-moxibustion therapy on postpartum uterine involution.
Methods
2
Eighty puerpera were randomized into an observation group and a control group
40 cases in each one. In the control group
oxytocin injection was administered by intravenous drip
20 U each time
once daily. In the observation group
on the base of the treatment as the control group
the penetrating-moxibustion therapy was used at Shenque (GV 8)
Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4)
30 min to 40 min each time
twice a day. The intervention of each group started from the first day after childbirth and lasted 3 days. The uterine volume before and after treatment
and in 42 days of postpartum
the height decrease of the fundus of the uterus
the score of visual analogue scale (VAS) for uterine contraction
the volume of lochia rubra in 1 to 3 days of treatment
and lochia duration were compared between the two groups; and the clinical effect was evaluated.
Results
2
The uterine volume in the observation group was smaller than that of the control group after treatment (
P
<
0.01). In 1 to 3 days of treatment
the height decrease of the fundus of the uterus in the observation group was larger (
P
<
0.01)
VAS scores of uterine contraction were lower (
P<
0.05
P<
0.01)
the lochia rubra volume was less (
P
<
0.01) than those in the control group. The duration of lochia rubra and lochia was shorter (
P
<
0.01) in the observation group when compared with that of the control group. The favorable rate of uterine involution in the observation group was 95.0% (38/40)
higher than that of the control group (75.0%
30/40
P<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Penetrating-moxibustion therapy accelerates the recovery of the uterine volume
relieves uterine contraction
shortens the duration of lochia
reduces the lochia volume and promotes the postpartum uterine involution.
