Abstract
Summary The treatment of haemorrhoids by conservative methods has been examined. Injection therapy with the use of phenol in almond oil was effective in controlling bleeding, but with almond oil alone it was not. A comparison between the results of injection therapy and the technique of rubber ring ligation showed objectively better results after six months with ligations. However, ligation was sometimes followed by pain, and a few patients refused to continue with this form of treatment. These preliminary alternatives indicate that phenol in oil is still the best treatment for early first-degree piles. The results of ligation for second-degree piles are encouraging, but further evaluation is required.
