About

To validate the ability of the Sodergren score in guiding the management of symptomatic haemorrhoids in a Malaysian population.

Full description

All participating, consented subjects will be scored with the Sodergren score prior to receiving a standardized ambulatory treatment regime. The questionnaire will be self-administered by the subjects. Subjects whom are not able to self-administer the questionnaire will be assisted by the investigator or research assistant. The nature and severity of the subject's haemorrhoidal symptoms are considered as the pre-treatment baseline. A follow up period of 12 months will be carried out post treatment for failure or success of treatment. The data collected will be compared to pre-treatment scores and analyzed statistically.
