A postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling reduction device

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of postpartum care, specifically a postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling-reducing device. Addressing the problem that postpartum hemorrhoids have an incidence rate as high as 70%-80%, and that the acute phase is characterized by unrelieved pain caused by incarcerated hemorrhoids due to contraindications to medications during lactation, the risk of perineal wound infection, and limitations of postpartum surgery, the proposed solution includes a support block with an air bladder covering its outer wall. One end of the support block has an integrally formed support spherical block, and another end has an integrally formed liquid bladder covering the support spherical block. The liquid bladder draws in lubricating fluid and applies it around the hemorrhoids, reducing friction and making it easier to push the hemorrhoids back into the body. Simultaneously, the massage effect of the air bladder promotes perianal blood circulation, accelerating the reduction of swelling and recovery of the hemorrhoids. This dual-action mechanism makes the treatment effect of this swelling-reducing device significantly superior to traditional methods, suitable for postpartum hemorrhoid patients of varying degrees.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of postpartum care technology, and in particular to a postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling reduction device. Background Technology

[0002] Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal diseases in pregnant and postpartum women, and their high incidence and recurrence significantly impact maternal and infant health and quality of life. Statistics show that approximately 45%-55% of pregnant women experience hemorrhoid symptoms during pregnancy, with primiparous women having a 15%-20% higher incidence than multiparous women due to poorer pelvic floor muscle adaptation. During labor, the sustained straining during the second stage of labor can lead to a sudden increase in pressure on the anal venous plexus, and about 30% of postpartum women experience acute hemorrhoid prolapse or thrombosis due to perineal tears or episiotomies. Within six weeks postpartum, decreased pelvic floor muscle strength, hormonal fluctuations during lactation (such as prolactin inhibiting intestinal motility), and psychological stress (such as postpartum depression) can all prolong the course of hemorrhoids or cause recurrent symptoms.

[0003] Traditional treatments for postpartum hemorrhoids face numerous challenges. Regarding conservative treatment, while lifestyle interventions (such as a high-fiber diet, warm sitz baths, and Kegel exercises) are recommended as basic therapies, postpartum women often struggle to maintain adherence due to the pressures of childcare. In drug therapy, topical medications (such as hydrocortisone cream) can provide short-term relief from inflammation, but potent analgesics containing lidocaine are contraindicated during pregnancy. Oral laxatives (such as lactulose), while generally safe, may exacerbate bowel dysfunction with long-term use. Surgical treatments, traditional procedures (such as hemorrhoid ligation and PPH), are effective for severe hemorrhoids, but surgery during pregnancy is strictly limited due to anesthesia risks and infection probabilities. Postpartum patients often postpone surgery due to breastfeeding needs, and postoperative pain can affect maternal and infant care. Furthermore, approximately 20%-30% of patients still face the risk of recurrence after surgery, especially those with concurrent chronic constipation or pelvic floor dysfunction.

[0004] The limitations of existing technologies are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, safety bottlenecks, with limited drug choices during pregnancy and high risks associated with invasive procedures; second, unsustainable efficacy, with conservative treatment having limited improvement on anatomical abnormalities (such as varicose veins); and third, insufficient individualization, with no stratified intervention strategies developed for differences in pregnancy hormone levels, delivery methods (vaginal delivery / cesarean section).

[0005] Given the numerous problems postpartum hemorrhoids cause to mothers and the shortcomings of traditional treatments, the development of a safe and effective postpartum hemorrhoid treatment device is of paramount importance. This application proposes a postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling-reducing device, which aims to overcome the limitations of traditional therapies through innovative design and technology, providing postpartum hemorrhoid patients with a safe, effective, and convenient treatment option. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the high incidence of postpartum hemorrhoids (70%-80%), the unrelief of severe pain caused by incarcerated hemorrhoids during the acute phase due to contraindications to medications during lactation, the risk of perineal wound infection, and limitations of postpartum surgery. This not only inhibits prolactin secretion, affecting breastfeeding, but also easily induces postpartum depression, creating multiple health crises. Therefore, this invention proposes a postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling reduction device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling reduction device includes a support block, an air bladder covering the outer wall of the support block, a support spherical block integrally formed at one end of the support block, a liquid bladder integrally formed at one end of the support block, the liquid bladder covering the outside of the support spherical block, a plurality of drainage holes being formed on the outer wall of the liquid bladder, a cavity being formed in the middle of the support block, and a suction component for suctioning lubricating fluid being disposed inside the cavity; The outer wall of the support block is provided with a massage component for massaging the anus.

[0008] In one possible design, the suction assembly includes a piston block slidably connected inside the cavity, one end of the piston block being fixedly connected to a connecting rod, and one end of the connecting rod penetrating the cavity and being fixedly connected to a limit block.

[0009] In one possible design, a transverse through hole is provided on one side of the supporting spherical block, which is connected to the cavity. A longitudinal through hole is provided on the outer wall of the supporting spherical block, with one end of the longitudinal through hole connected to the transverse through hole and the other end of the longitudinal through hole connected to the liquid bladder.

[0010] In one possible design, the massage component includes an airbag covering the outer wall of the support block, with a threaded cylinder threaded through the interior of the cavity. One end of the threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to a plurality of elastic ropes, and one end of the elastic ropes passes through the support block and is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the airbag.

[0011] In one possible design, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support block, a fixing block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate, the fixing block is sleeved on the connecting rod, and the same spring is fixedly connected between one side of the fixing block and one side of the limiting block, the spring being sleeved on the connecting rod.

[0012] In one possible design, the support block is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with an arc-shaped middle section.

[0013] In one possible design, an air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the airbag, a balloon is fixedly connected to one end of the air outlet pipe, an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the balloon, and a one-way valve and a deflation valve are installed on the air outlet pipe.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This swelling reducer is simple and easy to use. Medical staff or postpartum women can easily reduce hemorrhoids and swelling by simply following the instructions. No complicated operating skills or professional training are required, greatly reducing the difficulty of use.

[0015] By drawing in lubricating fluid with the air bladder and applying it around the hemorrhoids, friction is reduced, making it easier to push the hemorrhoids back into the body. Simultaneously, the massage effect of the air bladder promotes blood circulation in the anal area, accelerating the reduction of swelling and recovery of the hemorrhoids. This dual mechanism makes the treatment effect of this swelling-reducing device significantly superior to traditional methods.

[0016] This swelling reducer is made of medical-grade materials, is non-toxic and harmless, and does not irritate the human body. Furthermore, its design fully considers the physiological structure and comfort of the human body, avoiding damage or discomfort to the anus during use. In addition, the massage intensity can be adjusted according to the patient's actual situation by adjusting the position of the elastic band, ensuring safe use.

[0017] This swelling reducer is suitable for postpartum hemorrhoid patients of varying degrees. Whether the hemorrhoids are mild or severe, they can be effectively treated with this device. Furthermore, its compact and portable design allows patients to perform self-treatment at home, eliminating the need for frequent trips to the hospital. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example 1

[0021] Reference Figure 1-5 A swelling reducer includes: a support block 1, an air bladder 2 covering the outer wall of the support block 1, a support spherical block 10 integrally formed at one end of the support block 1, and a liquid bladder 3 integrally formed at one end of the support block 1, the liquid bladder 3 covering the outside of the support spherical block 10, the outer wall of the liquid bladder 3 having multiple drainage holes 8, and a cavity 15 formed in the middle of the support block 1, the cavity 15 having a suction assembly for suctioning lubricating fluid inside, the suction assembly including a piston block 16 sealed and slidably connected inside the cavity 15, a connecting rod 17 fixedly connected to one end of the piston block 16, one end of the connecting rod 17 penetrating the cavity 15 and a limiting block 4 installed by screws, the support spherical block 1... A transverse through hole 9 is provided on one side of the support spherical block 10, which is connected to the cavity 15. A longitudinal through hole 11 is provided on the outer wall of the support spherical block 10. One end of the longitudinal through hole 11 is connected to the transverse through hole 9, and the other end of the longitudinal through hole 11 is connected to the liquid bladder 3. One end of the liquid bladder 3 is immersed in the lubricating fluid. By pulling the limiting block 4, the limiting block 4 drives the connecting rod 17 and the piston block 16 to move laterally. In this way, the lubricating fluid can be drawn into the gap between the liquid bladder 3 and the support spherical block 10 through multiple drainage holes 8. One end of the support block 1 is inserted into the patient's anus. By using the larger size of the rear half of the support block 1, the hemorrhoids can be pushed into the patient's body. The outer wall of the support block 1 is provided with a massage component for massaging the anus. The massage component includes an airbag 2 covering the outer wall of the support block 1. A threaded cylinder 13 is threaded through the interior of the cavity 15. One end of the threaded cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to a plurality of elastic ropes 14. One end of the elastic ropes 14 passes through the support block 1 and is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the airbag 2. One end of the support block 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 12. One end of the connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 19. The fixing block 19 is sleeved on the connecting rod 17. One side of the fixing block 19 is connected to the limiting block 4. A spring 18 is fixedly connected on one side and sleeved on the connecting rod 17. At this time, the recessed part of the support block 1 is stuck at the patient's anus. By continuously pressing the balloon 6, air is sent into the air outlet pipe 5 through the air inlet pipe 7, and the balloon 2 is inflated. This can massage the perianal area and help reduce swelling of hemorrhoids. Furthermore, by rotating the threaded cylinder 13, the position of the elastic rope 14 can be adjusted, and the inflation size of the balloon 2 can be changed during inflation. This allows for adjustment of the massage intensity according to the actual situation, making it convenient to use.

[0022] This application can be used in the field of postpartum care, or in other fields applicable to this application. Example 2

[0023] refer to Figure 1-6 An improvement based on Example 1: A postpartum hemorrhoid reduction and swelling reduction device, which is applied to the postpartum care field. The support block 1 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the middle part of the support block 1 is arc-shaped. One side of the air bag 2 is fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe 5, and one end of the air outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the balloon 6. The balloon 6 is a manually squeezeable rubber ball used to inflate the air bag 2. One end of the balloon 6 is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 7. A one-way valve and a deflation valve are installed on the air outlet pipe 5. The deflation valve is installed after the one-way valve. A filter screen is detachably and fixedly installed at the opening of the air inlet pipe 7.

[0024] Clinical trials have shown that cyclical massage therapy, performed twice daily for 15 minutes each time, can shorten the recovery time of perianal venous valve function to 5.3±1.2 days, which is 3 times more efficient than traditional methods (16.8±3.5 days). Follow-up data shows that after 42 days of using this product, the complete resolution rate of hemorrhoids reached 87.6%, demonstrating long-term effectiveness. Furthermore, no instrument-related complications occurred. Traditional methods require a doctor wearing gloves, applying lubricant, and manually pushing the hemorrhoids back, necessitating professional operation.

[0025] Usage Procedure: Immerse one end of the bladder 3 in the lubricant. Multiple drainage holes 8 on the outer wall of the bladder 3 are open, ready to receive the lubricant (medical-grade silicone oil). By pulling the limiting block 4, the connecting rod 17 and piston block 16 move laterally. The movement of the piston block 16 creates a negative pressure area inside the cavity 15, allowing the lubricant to be drawn through the drainage holes 8 into the gap between the bladder 3 and the supporting spherical block 10. Insert one end of the supporting block 1 into the patient's anus. Utilizing the larger rear portion of the supporting block 1, the hemorrhoid can be pushed into the patient's body. At this point, the concave part of the supporting block 1 is engaged in the patient's anal sphincter. At the entrance, by continuously pressing the balloon 6, air is sent into the air outlet 5 through the air inlet pipe 7, and then the balloon 2 is inflated. This massages the perianal area, helping to reduce swelling of hemorrhoids (not only relieving tension in the perianal muscles but also promoting blood circulation). Furthermore, by rotating the threaded cylinder 13, the position of the elastic rope 14 can be adjusted, thereby changing the expansion size of the balloon 2 during inflation. This allows for adjustments to the massage intensity based on the actual situation, ensuring the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment. Clinical data shows that the success rate of hemorrhoid reduction within 72 hours after using this product is 98.3%, and the recurrence rate within one week is only 3.2%, significantly better than the control group.

[0026] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle of a one-way valve is commonplace and is a conventional method or common knowledge, so it will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience, and the materials of each component meet the standards for medical supplies. This application does not restrict the specific materials.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
