What to do if a fractured tailbone affects bowel movements

When a patient has a tailbone fracture, the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases during defecation, stimulating the fracture site and causing pain and affecting the patient’s bowel movement. In this case, you can tell the patient to take Da Cheng Qi Tang or Xiao Cheng Qi Tang orally, and you can also use a topical cicatrization, which can promote the patient’s bowel movement. The patient should be told to eat coarse fiber food regularly to speed up gastrointestinal motility and reduce painful bowel movements. In case of obvious fracture displacement, transanal repositioning can be adopted, and pain relief cream or golden ointment can be applied externally to promote the absorption of local bleeding and accelerate the healing of fracture as soon as possible, all of which are beneficial to the patient’s defecation. Therefore, correct symptomatic treatment is needed after clinical manifestations appear, which can relieve the clinical manifestations of patients.
