Objective: To investigate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing scheme on gastrointestinal function recovery in patients with uterine fibroids after high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment.

Methods: By convenient sampling method, 110 patients who received high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment for uterine fibroids from January 2023 to December 2023 in HIFU Treatment Center, a Grade-III obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Shanghai were selected as the study objects and were divided into a control group (n = 54) and experimental group (n = 56) by non-synchronous control study. The control group was treated with conventional nursing mode, and the experimental group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine nursing plan for gastrointestinal function recovery of patients with uterine fibroids after sea aid treatment. The postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, comfort level, mental health and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared.

Results: The gastrointestinal function recovery time, comfort status scale, anxiety self-rating scale, depression self-rating scale and nursing service satisfaction scale of experimental group were better than those of control group ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: The main finding of this study is that through traditional Chinese medicine nursing programs, early gastrointestinal function can be improved in patients with uterine fibroids treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound, promoting gastrointestinal function recovery. The secondary finding is that the implementation of traditional Chinese medicine nursing programs can alleviate the negative emotions of such patients and improve clinical nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
