All patients were suggested to follow Pathya-Apathya in terms of Dincharya. The relief in bleeding on 15th day was observed 51% & 69% in Group-A & Group-B respectively. Reduction in burning sensation and uneasy defecation was observed more in Group-B as compared to Group-A. Study showed remarkable healing (73%) in Group-B as compared to Group-A (57%).
