“…The study revealed that there is no significance between haemorrhoids and weight lifting among lorry drivers, as supported by a study in Kelantan which revealed 53.7% of patients with haemorrhoids have not lifted heavy objects (Jusoh et al, 2008). However, this is contrary to a study in Mangalore government and private tertiary hospitals in which there were 68.2% of haemorrhoids patients with a history of frequent lifting of heavy weights (Joseph, et al, 2018). As a result, weight lifting does not necessarily cause haemorrhoids for lorry drivers.…”

Background Haemorrhoids is a common chronic disease that can significantly impact patients’ quality of life. Yet, few studies have evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with haemorrhoids before and after treatment. This study investigated the HRQoL of patients with haemorrhoids before and after treatment and the change in HRQoL from baseline. Methods A prospective observational study of patients with haemorrhoids was conducted at two public hospitals in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Two questionnaires assessing symptom severity and haemorrhoid-specific QoL were administered at initial consultation and at 4- and 8-week follow-ups after treatment (sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation (RBL), haemorrhoidectomy or evacuation of haematoma). The primary outcome was the least squares (LS) change of HRQoL score from baseline, measured using the Short Health Scale adapted for Haemorrhoidal Disease (4 domains: symptom load, interference with daily activities, concern, general well-being). Results In 48 patients selected for this study, LS mean change from baseline showed significant improvement in HRQoL across all domains and total Short Health Scale adapted for Haemorrhoidal Disease score at 4- and 8-week follow-ups ( P < 0.001). Difference in LS mean change from baseline also showed continued improvement of HRQoL from week 4 to week 8 ( P < 0.010). ‘Concern’ showed greatest improvement at 4 and 8 weeks ( P < 0.001). Averaged LS mean changes from baseline showed RBL had greater improvement of HRQoL compared with sclerotherapy ( P = 0.004). Conclusion Patients with haemorrhoids had improved HRQoL after invasive treatment. Haemorrhoid-specific QoL is an important component of the extent of disease and can serve as an aid to guide treatment, assess outcomes and monitor disease.
