针灸治疗痔疮的研究进展

Research progress of acupuncture treatment for hemorrhoids

痔疮是常见的肛肠疾病,任何年龄均可发病,但随着年龄增长,发病率逐渐增高。根据发病部位的不同,痔疮可分为内痔、外痔和混合痔。临床上治疗痔疮的方法有多种,多采用西医手术治疗,直接将痔切除,但术后并发症较多,影响患者的生活质量。针灸疗法对痔疮有很好的疗效,且痛苦小,安全性高,操作简便,在临床得到广泛应用。针灸治疗痔疮常用方法有针刺疗法、耳针疗法、艾灸疗法和特色疗法等,具有通调人体气血等作用。对近年来针灸治疗痔疮的临床疗效进行总结,希望能够为痔疮的针灸治疗提供借鉴,并减轻患者的痛苦。
