All patients were randomly separated to two groups by the name of control group (n=56) and treated group (n=56). The control group was given postoperative routine nursing. The treated group was given ear point pressing bean combined with traditional Chinese medicine package beyond postoperative routine nursing. The first voiding time, effective rate of preventing urinary retention, VAS score were recorded and compared between treated group and control group. Results The first self voiding time and remaining urine of bladder in the treated group was shorter and less than that in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative urinary retention in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). All the two groups got lower VAS scores after nursing than themselves before nursing (P<0.05). The treated group got lower VAS score than the control group after nursing (P<0.05).
