Management
In a prospective randomized controlled study [PMID:14605954], patients receiving MFF for 1 week after hemorrhoidectomy experienced significantly lower pain scores and fewer intramuscular analgesic injections compared to the control group on postoperative days 2, 3, and at 1 week follow-up.
The study [PMID:14605954] demonstrated that patients treated with MFF had a shorter hospital stay compared to the control group, indicating potential benefits in recovery time.
Key Recommendations
Based on the findings from [PMID:14605954], incorporating MFF into postoperative care may improve patient satisfaction and reduce pain, suggesting it as a recommended adjunct therapy. (Evidence: Expert opinion)
