Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Thrombosis of the external hemorrhoids (TEH) is one of the most frequent complain during pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester.

The paucity of the medical literature on this topic has recently been underlined in the European guidelines for hemorrhoid treatment .

The aim of this prospective study is to compare the efficacy and safety of conservative versus surgical treatment of TEH in pregnant women

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thrombosis of external haemorrhoids (TEH) is a quite frequent acute condition that affects women during the pregnancy arousing great concern and impacting quality of life. TEH may present as an acute hemorrhoidal crisis with severe pain and bleeding. Up to 21.8 % of pregnant females complaining of dyschezia present with a thrombosed external haemorrhoid and during last three months, 7.8 % of pregnant females experience a TEH.

Systemic changes in women body can be related to the onset of TEH and even if haemorrhoidal thrombosis does not represent a life-threatening condition during the pregnancy, on the other hand the pain can deteriorate the emotional and physical status arousing worries which affect the health system with high costs due to several accesses to the hospital.

Treatment of TEH is mainly directed to the relief of symptoms, especially pain control. Nowadays conservative and surgical management of TEH during the pregnancy have been demonstrated both effective and safe. Nevertheless, a conservative approach is more accepted as the patient's ability to tolerate the symptoms of her condition would dictate the need for surgery.

In the common practice most patients prefer to be treated conservatively experiencing resolution of their symptoms. On the other hand excision of thrombosed external haemorrhoids results in more rapid symptom resolution, lower incidence of recurrence, and longer remission intervals.

During the pregnancy the administration of conservative medications is quite limited due to the possible side effect of such drugs on the fetus.

The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of conservative and surgical treatment in patients affected by TEH during pregnancy. With regard to surgical management, thrombectomy and local excision of external haemorrhoids were compared.
