Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of the Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin (XFHM) for treating cutaneous infections and promoting wound healing in patients with perianal abscesses. Methods: Sixty-one patients with perianal abscesses who were admitted to our hospital (Xinghua City People’s Hospital) from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, a control group (30 cases) and a study group (31 cases). Both groups received surgical treatment. The control group received conventional treatment and warm water fumigation, sitz bath, and surgical dressing change after surgery, while the research group received XFHM based on the control group. XFHM was taken orally and replaced with warm water for fumigation and sitz bathing. Both groups received treatment for 4 weeks but discontinued sitz bathing after 2 weeks. Various clinical indicators between the two groups were compared. Results: The total clinical effective rate and wound recovery rate of the study group were higher than that of the control group. There were differences in the wound pain scores, surrounding tissue edema, and wound secretions at different time points. Both groups experienced wound pain. The scores of wound pain, surrounding tissue edema, and wound secretions of the study group were lower than those of the control group, 7 and 14 days after surgery. The serum interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels, and pH values of the study group were lower than those of the control group 10 days after surgery (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of XFHM for treating cutaneous infections and promoting wound healing in patients with perianal abscesses improved the treatment outcome, alleviated clinical symptoms, and promoted healing.
