The optimal choice of therapy for acute hemorrhoids

Abstract

The article presents the results of conservative therapy of patients with acute hemorrhoids, with a 10-day follow-up period, the purpose of which is to improve the results of treatment of this category of patients. The patients of Group I received conservative therapy with heparin ointment and Relief Pro® suppositories; Group II received local therapy with heparin ointment without rectal suppositories.Design: a single-center randomized controlled follow-up study.The study showed the efficacy of Relief Pro® suppositories in patients with acute haemorrhoids. The use of suppositories allowed to statistically reliably reduce the level of pain (2.59 ± 0.6 points in Group I versus 3.87 ± 0.7 points in Group II (p < 0.05)) on Day 3 of the therapy, reduce the frequency of blood excretion on Day 2 of the therapy (83% and 32% of patients, respectively (p <0.05)) and eliminate the discomfort in the anus (100% observations in Group I by Day 5 of the therapy and 67% in Group 2 by Day 10 of the therapy (p <0.05)).
