“…In this study, hemorrhoids found in only two patients, both treated with anal dilatation, laxatives, and dietary modification advice, similar treatment strategy as Alonso-Coello P et al used in his study 16 , and they pass through an uneventful postoperative course with no complications, not missing that one of the cases had a previous trial of medical treatment.…”

Hemorrhoids: A range of treatments

“…Fiber supplements are strongly recommended in the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) practice guidelines 3 based on a Cochrane review. 10 In this metaanalysis, with fi ber supplements, the relative risk of persisting or nonimproving symptoms was 0.53 (95% confi dence interval [CI] 0.38-0.73) and the relative risk of bleeding was 0.50 (95% CI 028-0.89). Psyllium husk is an inexpensive bulk-forming fi ber supplement; the optimal daily dosage is not known.…”

“…The relative risks (RRs) for bleeding and recurrence were 0.47 and 0.50, respectively. However, the supplements did not show a significant effect on prolapse, pain, or itching [ 88 ].…”
