Abstract

Haemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal disorders encountered in the general population. Haemorrhoids are the most common (30‑40%) cause of lower GI bleeding in India. The present study has been designed to validate the effect of Unani formulation in the management of Bawaseer-e-ghaira (Internal haemorrhoids of Grade-I and II degree) on scientific parameters. The ingredients of Unani formulation are Bisfaij, Zarnabad, Rasaut, Muqil, Maghz tukhm Neem and Gulab. This study was open observational clinical study. 30 diagnosed patients of Grade-I and II degree internal haemorrhoids who fulfilled the protocol criteria were selected for the study. Ethical clearance was taken from the IEC. Patients were given two pills (500 mg each) twice a day for 45 days after taking written informed consent as per the study protocol. The outcomes were analysed using appropriate statistical test. There was 100% relief in bleeding with p-value<0.001. 93.3% patients were relieved in prolapse of haemorrhoidal mass at the end of 45th day follow-up with significant p-value 0.033. The study concluded that Unani formulation (Bisfaij, Zarnabad, Rasaut, Muqil, Maghz tukhm Neem and Gulab) is a better option for internal haemorrhoids in respect of efficacy and safety.
