Calcium Dobesilate Versus Flavonoids for the Treatment of Early Hemorrhoidal Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Background and Aim Early hemorrhoidal disease is usually treated conservatively with fiber diet and medical therapy with flavonoids or calcium dobesilate. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of these two agents in the treatment of early hemorrhoidal disease. Materials and Methods Patients having grade I and grade II hemorrhoidal disease were recruited in the study. One group received flavonoid therapy and the other group took calcium dobesilate treatment for three weeks. The symptoms and size of hemorrhoids were then assessed at the fourth week. Results In this study, 70.2% of patients were male and 29.8% of patients were female. Of the total patients, 58.65% of patients were below 45 years of age and 41.34% of patients were above 45 years of age. Moreover, 83.65% of patients had grade II hemorrhoids, whereas 16.34% of patients had grade I hemorrhoids; 80.8% of patients showed a decrease in frequency and amount of bleeding after being treated by flavonoids, whereas 67.3% showed a decrease in frequency and amount of bleeding after administration of calcium dobesilate. A decrease in the size of hemorrhoids was seen in 67.3% of patients after treatment with flavonoids and 38.46% after giving calcium dobesilate. Conclusions Treatment of early hemorrhoidal with flavonoid therapy was more effective in improving the symptoms of disease as compared to calcium dobesilate treatment.

Peran dan Efektivitas Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction dalam Terapi Pengobatan Hemoroid Kelas I dan II

“…Prevalensi penyakit memuncak dalam rentang umur 45-65 tahun. [15][16][17] Dalam jurnal-jurnal penelitian yang telah dikaji oleh penulis, sangat jarang ditemukan data prevalensi terkini untuk tahun 2021 ataupun lima tahun yang silam. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa hemoroid termasuk penyakit yang kurang diberi perhatian dalam bentuk studi ilmiah dan berhak mendapatkan penelitian yang berskala lebih besar dan terkini.…”

Comparison of Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty and Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy Techniques in the Treatment of Grade 2 and 3 Hemorrhoidal Disease

“…1 HD treatment is determined by the disease's internal or external nature, the intensity of symptoms, and the internal hemorrhoidal disease (IHD) stage. 2 Conservative, medical, non-operative, and surgical therapy approaches are applied in HD treatment. 3 Milligan-Morgan (MM) hemorrhoidectomy which is the most well-known and frequently applied surgical treatment method and, Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LH) are among the accepted treatment methods in Grade 2-3 HD treatment where medical treatment is insufficient.…”
