(1) When I think of spanking needles, my buttocks shrink, as if I have been poked by another needle... the shadow of my childhood.
I was very prone to getting sick when I was a child. Intravenous drips were not widely available at that time. Even when I first remember, the injections used by doctors to spank us were shared, and they were only used to disinfect and disinfect them. Later, when we were older, , I changed to disposable ones when there was a health center in the village. I had been given penicillin since I was a child, so the sides of my buttocks were directly sunken. Also because I had been given too many injections since I was a child, the chain reaction was that my legs would not curl up (I am not advocating this) Crossing one's legs), walking up the stairs and looking like a figure. Some time ago, I suddenly learned that it is called gluteal muscle contracture, and it requires surgery to cure it.
There is a type of butt needle that feels normal pain when it goes in. It was extremely painful when slowly injecting the medicine! ! ! Relax your butt muscles as soon as they hurt! ! It hurts like hell.
I didn’t feel anything wrong with spanking injections in the past, but once I got spanking injections, I was an adult in my 20s, and I was the first to feel pain in my head. I really felt like that guy was giving me a spanking injection. The feeling of the needle sticking into the pelvis made me unable to walk with a limp for 4 or 5 days, and it hurt to move my buttocks and pelvis.
The butt needle pierces the muscle directly...it doesn’t hurt when it goes in, but it hurts so much that I can’t stand still when I push it, and I really tremble
There is also a penicillin skin test. A big nightmare. It looks like a small bump on the skin, but it actually hurts more than a piece of flesh being pinched by a fingernail. Who knows...
(2) What is a butt needle?
The so-called "butt shot" is actually an injection injected into the muscle. Because the buttocks muscles are thicker and do not have important blood vessels and nerves, they are an ideal injection site. Small doses of the drug can also be given in the upper arm.
The earliest intramuscular injections were mainly antibacterial drugs such as penicillin and streptomycin, which were available for both intramuscular injection and intravenous infusion.
In the early days of the birth of injections, due to technical limitations, disposable syringes and infusion sets were not widely used. Only critically ill patients and hospitalized patients had the opportunity to use intravenous injections.
In outpatient clinics and village clinics, children with colds and fevers are often given a "butt shot". During this period, "butt needles" were used in antibacterial drugs, vitamins and other fields.
But as times change, "butt needles" gradually fall out of favor.
By around 2010, the "butt needle" was rarely used. Instead, infusion therapy is used. At that time, China's outpatient infusion rate was as high as 60% to 70%, more than double that of 2006. The hospital infusion rate is as high as 90%.
At its peak in 2013, the annual mass infusion output reached 13.4 billion bottles/bags. At one time, it was said that each Chinese person received 8 bottles of injections per year. "Butt needles" gradually faded out of people's sight.
In fact, intravenous infusion should not be the first choice in treatment. The internationally recognized principle is "can be taken orally without intramuscular injection, and can be administered intramuscularly without intravenous infusion".
When the drug enters the human body through intramuscular injection, the blood vessels become a natural barrier, which can isolate harmful substances from the body. It is a safe preparation second only to oral preparations. Many people in the industry have also lamented that compared with intravenous infusion, "butt needles" are safe and effective and should not be ignored.
(3) What are the disadvantages of butt acupuncture?
1. The child does not cooperate with the spanking injection.
During the spanking injection, if the child does not cooperate and always struggles, the doctor may also easily make mistakes. If the injection position is shifted, accidental injury may be caused to the child.
Because the principle of spanking injection is to inject intramuscularly behind the buttocks. When injecting, it needs to avoid the sciatic nerve and the femoral artery. It can only be injected into the upper four points of the buttocks on one side. one. Unfortunately, some children were beaten in the wrong place and their legs were obviously atrophied. Moreover, if a child is spanked and injected as soon as he is sick, the child's injection site is prone to hardening, swelling, and congestion. The muscles at the needle eye may also lose elasticity and contracture of the gluteal muscles may occur.
2. Buttock needles are not safe.
Injected into the buttock muscle, the drug concentration is high and it is irreversible after entering the human body. Once anaphylactic shock occurs,
it is basically a disaster.
Of course, the probability of it happening is very low, but the question is, if it happens, will you have a mine at home? Can you afford it? Intravenous administration can be terminated or the fluid can be changed at any time. Rescue drugs are given as soon as possible and have the fastest effect.
Don’t listen to what some patients say, just get a fight. If you are not allergic, the problem has nothing to do with you.
3. Pain.
Needless to say, we have all experienced injection pain. In fact, there are many reasons for the pain, whether it is the doctor’s injection technique or our muscles are tightened due to tension. Can intensify pain. But there are also other situations where there is no feeling during the injection. After the injection is completed, the part of the injected muscle begins to hurt, or the muscle involved is painful due to excessive exercise. It will take a few days to get better. We can actually use hot compresses to reduce the pain at the injection site, but the pain is still bearable and the effect is very good.
4. The injection process is slightly embarrassing
For intramuscular injection, we choose the buttocks because there are many muscles and blood vessels here, but this place is also our private part, regardless of whether the doctor is male or female. , we all need to be exposed before we can get the injection, which will inevitably make us feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. Injections are all treatments for illness. We don’t need to have too many other thoughts. We need to calm down, which will also help our body recover.
5. The fast-paced requirements of the times.
I have seen many people who would rather take fluids and take medicine than have nails done, because they are afraid of pain. The pain is not like the pain that can be cured by a drop of a needle. It is persistent
Nowadays, people are busy and afraid of procrastination. Basically, just give me water. Okay, hurry up. I have to work these two days.
Another one, I have a fellow countryman who is now an alumnus who has taken the postgraduate entrance examination. He is in I was an undergraduate in the graduate department, and he was admitted to the city hospital with money after graduation. Of course, I met him through his water transfusion in his small outpatient clinic of less than ten square meters, with a bed and several chairs. I still couldn't understand it at the time, but the hospital that made me so envious just decided to take a leave of absence without pay. He said, "I'll tell you the truth, my fellow countrymen. Our rent is 450 a month, and we only need to give water to 10 people every day." , and free. This is the most important thing
The results are immediate and the cost is not necessarily high. I was prescribed oral moxifloxacin for acute bronchitis (I had taken cefadroxil by mouth for 2 weeks before, but it was ineffective), which cost nearly 300 per box. After a week of taking it, I still didn’t get it, and instead it became chronic. Later, I had a high fever that wouldn't go away, and I had a terrible headache (I usually have headaches all year round, and I've become accustomed to ordinary headaches). I learned my lesson and immediately added cefuroxime sodium, 150 a bottle, and I was done with 2 bottles.
(4) Will butt needles become popular again?
As the concept of “can be taken orally without intramuscular injection, and intramuscular injection without intravenous infusion” has become popular again, the growth rate of the injection market has slowed down.
In particular, the centralized bulk purchasing in recent years has even reduced the prices of many large-volume infusion products to less than 1 yuan. The industry complained that "large-volume infusion products are not as good as mineral water."
Seeing that the future of large-scale infusion is bleak, former leading companies have transformed into diversified business development. In recent years, China Resources Double-Crane has accelerated its layout in the fields of innovative peptide drugs and oncology drug sales.
Under this trend, is it possible for "butt needles" to become mainstream again?
Also, parents or patients are superstitious about the effectiveness of injections or even water. If they want to take medicine, they will ask for injections, and if they want spanking, they will ask for water. The degree ranges from polite requests to threats of violence and threats. Without waiting, there will be all kinds of strange phenomena mentioned above.
