Overview
Medical Therapy
Most patients are erderly and general performance status is poor. In these cases nonoperative treatments such as medications reducing edema, correction of constipation, exercises straining the perineum, electric simulation, injection of a sclerosing agent, or rubber band ligation are helpful especially during the acute phase.[1]
