RESUMO
Background: Haemorrhoids is one of the most common anorectal condition, which involved human beings both in ancient and recent times
Objective: The study was conducted to describe clinical profile and management outcome of symptomatic haemorrhoids
Patients and methods: A total of 405 patients of symptomatic haemorrhoids were included from outdoor and indoor department. Conservatively managed patients of grade I were 150 while for others open haemorrhoidectomy was performed. This descriptive study was planned to asses the outcome at week one and six and complications for one year
Result: Our results showed that majority of the patients has multiple symptoms. 75% of the conservatively managed patients of grade I were cured. Among grade II, 80% responded to treatment within one week, whereas, 88% of grade III responded in one week, 81% of grade IV responded in 1st week. It was noted that up to 10% of grade II, 26% of grade III and 38% of grade IV had complications
Conclusion: It is concluded that majority of the patients present with multiple symptoms, however, carefully categorized and subsequently managed patients has good outcome and minimum complications. All surgeons should tailor the treatment of haemorrhoids based on understanding of the indication and complications associated with the procedure
