A Randomized Clinical Trial of Photocoagulation Compared with Lifestyle Modification in the Management of First and Second Degree Hemorrhoids
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Purpose: Purpose of study is to compare the effectiveness of photocoagulation with the life style modification. There is much controversy regarding the role of photocoagulation(infrared coagulation) in the management of first and second degree haemorrhoids. According to some well known text books, it is considered to be an easy way of treating early haemorrhoids while others are doubtfull about the effectiveness. Material and Methods: We have included 200 cases of first and second degree haemorrhoids with out any other anorectal disease for this study.They are divided in to two study groups (A and B) of 100 patients each. Group A patients is treated with IRC (infrared coagulation) and Group B patients with life style modification only. Result: Statistical analysis of the results is very interesting. IRC is not better than simple life style modification! This is enough for the management of first and second degree haemorrhoids. Conclusion: Strict life style modification is enough for the management of early haemorrhoids.
