Results: Improvement in constipation after 8 weeks of treatment were 85%, 85% and 80% in Group A, B and C respectively and p value was non-significant (0.887). Improvement in bleeding after 8 weeks of treatment were 90%, 90% and 85% in Group A, B and C respectively and p value was non-significant (0.851). Healing was 78.57%, 92.31% and 46.15% in Group A, B and C respectively.
