The confirmation of the effectiveness of propolis based ointment in the conservative treatment of haemorrhoids
Introduction: Haemorrhoid disease is a very common health problem. Initial therapy for chronic symptoms of this disease is conservative. This implies topical therapy with one of the commercially available ointments although no rigorous evidence exists to support the use of the topical therapies because of the lack of proper conducted scientific studies. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of propolis based ointment in relief and suppression of the haemorrhoid disease type I and II symptoms which include bleeding, pain, itching and straining of the haemorrhoidal veins and its efficiency in preventing the relapse of these symptoms. Materials and methods: This prospective cohort epidemiological study lasted from November 2008 until February 2009. The study included 46 participants of both genders, mean age 53.6±14.3 (range 23 – 80) years, suffering from the symptoms of the haemorrhoid disease type I or type II for which they had been treated by their chosen general practitioners in Osijek, Croatia. Specially designed questionnaire was used to collect anamnestic data (demographic and data concerning the haemorrhoid disease symptoms) and to evaluate the intensity of the later ones according to the scale defined in the research protocol. Each participant was monitored during three months and the evaluation of his or her symptoms was conducted on the day of his or her enrolment in the study (0 status), and 1, 2 and 3 months after the continuous therapy. Results: During the study period the large decrease in intensity or complete disappearance of analysed symptoms had occurred in all patients and none of the patients had reported the exacerbation or relapse of any of the symptoms. Discussion and conclusion: Ointment with propolis extract efficiently affected all the analysed symptoms of the haemorrhoid disease thus having very significant place within the conservative treatment of haemorrhoids.
