The evaluation of the patients before and following the therapy was done in terms of pain, defecation discomfort, bleeding severity, anal itching severity and overall subjective discomfort. After three days of the therapy the mean values and standard deviations in the experimental group for pain, defecation discomfort, bleeding, itching and overall subjective discomfort decreased from 6.6±0.9, 6.9±1.0, 2.2±0.7, 2.6±0.6and 7.0±0.8, respectively to2.2±0.8, 2.5±1.0, 0.6±0.5, 1.3±0.7 and 3.0±0.8, respectively. At 10th day of the treatment all five parameters were graded 0 by all 66 patients. The control group also showed a significant decrease of all five parameters after only three days of the therapy while in the end of the treatment overall subjective symptoms decreased from 3.8±1.0 to 0.9±0.9. BioapifitÒ ointment was found superior to FaktuÒointment in the treatment of the symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease.<o:p></o:p>
