Hemorrhoids are symptomatic enlargement and distal displacement of the normal anal cushions with dysregulation of the vascular tone and vascular hyperplasia.1 Symptoms from hemorrhoids include bleeding, pain, prolapse and perianal itch with prevalence rates of up to 4.4% within the general population.2 Given the prevalence of the condition, the management of hemorrhoidal disease continues to have considerable workload and costs implications for the National Health Service (NHS), with approximately 25,000 hemorrhoidal procedures being performed yearly in U.K.3 Treatment of hemorrhoids depends mainly on the stage and symptoms of the disorder. Haemorrhoidectomy is considered an effective method for 3rd and 4th degree symptomatic hemorrhoids. …show more content…
METHODS This study was designed as a single-center double blinded randomized placebo controlled trial at the Department of General Surgery Menoufia University, with prior approval from our Institution’s Ethics Review Board. Inclusion criteria After a written informed consent, patients suffering from 3rd or 4th degree haemorrhoids and indicated for open haemorrhoidectomy were enrolled in this study. Exclusion criteria It was concomitant anal or rectal pathologies (e.g. abscess, fistulae, prolapse, etc.), age younger than 18, previous anal surgery, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, recent history of chemotherapy and active cancer patients. Patients with severe anemia, hypoalbuminemia or immunocompromised patients were also excluded. Preparation of the ointments: 10% Sucralfate ointment was prepared using liquid paraffin as levigating agent in a petrolatum base. The placebo ointment was prepared by the same method from liquid paraffin and petrolatum. The physicochemical stability of the ointment was evaluated at 50, 60, 70 and 80 C. Microbiological limit tests were performed for the preparation and no

Treatment for non-compressible hemorrhages depends on the location of the hemorrhage; if the wound is relatively shallow in the abdominal area and it is possible to reach the site of bleeding, then gauze and fluid resuscitation may be used. Unfortunately, these techniques are not very effective over time. If the injury is internal, like an injury to the spleen, liver or retroperitoneal vasculature, then the only current treatment is emergency surgery. However, most non-compressible hemorrhage injuries occur when medical treatment is not immediately available; transport time to reach a hospital could take hours, compromising the survival rate of the injured patient.

Crohn’s disease unfortunately has no cure, being that the cause is unknown. There are several drugs help controlling the disease, like prescription medications. Doctors can also recommend over the counter treatments such as pain relievers and supplements. People also can reduces the severity of the disease by having low fiber diets, regularly exercising.

In The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne is forced to wear a scarlet A on her chest, because of the sin, adultery, she committed. This letter separates Hester from the rest of the Puritans in the town, and causes her much loneliness and suffering. In the beginning of the book, the Puritans are disgusted by Hester, and shun her. As the book goes on, however, the townspeople slowly begin to let Hester into society, and use her as an example of how suffering and good deeds can lead to salvation. Hester’s view of herself does not change, and it shows that society is not the only source of her suffering. Hester’s suffering and lack of suffering from the town reflect on the nature of the Puritans, and reveal how even the strictest of societies can show compassion in certain circumstances.
The rubber band method. The doctor would utilize a rubber band to make this method work. The rubber band is tightened around the internal hemorrhoid. Doing so will kill off the growth, and when the cells die, the overgrowth will then just naturally fall off. This method can be really painful and can produce bleeding, but then, this beats having to go through your daily life living with hemorrhoids. The good this is that using this method does not involve a lot of risks. As a matter of fact, this is most often said to be �routine� hemorrhoid treatment method, and this is highly recommended by most physicians. This procedure has been put to practice for a long time now as well, thus, lowering risk levels to
