Abstract

Post-hemorrhoidectomy pain is a common complication that may impede the recovery process. Non-pharmacological interventions such as potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) sitz baths have shown potential in pain management and wound healing. This case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of KMnO₄ sitz bath therapy in reducing post-hemorrhoidectomy pain. A 45-year-old male patient (Mr. A) experienced severe postoperative pain (7/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale). Sitz baths with a 0.1–0.2% KMnO₄ solution were administered twice daily. Pain intensity was measured before and after each intervention using the NRS. Within 2–3 days, the patient’s pain level decreased significantly to 3/10, accompanied by improved comfort, enhanced mobility, and positive behavioral responses. The analgesic effects are associated with the antiseptic and astringent properties of KMnO₄, as well as the muscle-relaxing effects of warm water, which together reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and alleviate anal sphincter spasms. These findings support the use of potassium permanganate sitz baths as an effective non-pharmacological intervention in managing post-hemorrhoidectomy pain and promoting recovery.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and increased risk of complications such as peripheral neuropathy and vascular disorders. One of the effective and accessible non-pharmacological approaches in nursing practice is diabetic foot exercise. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of diabetic foot exercise in reducing blood glucose levels and blood pressure in type 2 DM patients with various comorbidities. This research employed a descriptive observational case study approach involving four patients diagnosed with type 2 DM and diverse comorbidities (pulmonary TB, COPD, neurological disorders, and diabetic foot wounds). The intervention consisted of a diabetic foot exercise program performed for three consecutive days, 10–15 minutes per session, using nine specific movements. Results: All patients demonstrated a significant reduction in blood glucose levels (80–200 mg/dL) and blood pressure stabilization within normal limits. Patients also reported improved sleep quality, reduced fatigue, and increased motivation and physical comfort. Diabetic foot exercise is proven to be an effective complementary nursing intervention for lowering blood glucose and blood pressure while improving the physiological and psychological status of type 2 DM patients, including those with limited mobility.
