Zeng Xuhong said that the anal wound of the woman after debridement was 6 cm in size. In addition, she has diabetes, and the wound is not easy to heal. If she eats and defecates normally, the wound will be more difficult to heal. Therefore, she must fast and give her total intravenous nutrition first. Acupuncture supplements carbohydrates, fats and proteins to obtain adequate nutrition, and supplemented with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to accelerate wound recovery.

The woman's wound healed well, she had shrunk by 3 cm in just 2 weeks, she gradually resumed eating and was discharged from the hospital. After 3 months, the wound finally healed, and the crisis of the artificial anus device was relieved. She was very grateful to the medical team for the treatment, and she also said with lingering fears , In the past, I swallowed fishbone by mistake, but this time I may have just installed new dentures, and the teeth are inconvenient to eat fishbone by mistake. After this painful experience, I must eat carefully and slowly, and I will take regular medication to control my diabetes.

Zeng Xuhong reminded that if you eat fishbone by mistake, you should not deliberately swallow rice or any food, so as not to squeeze the fishbone, but it will hurt the throat, esophagus and other tissues. If you feel abnormal or painful, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
