The Haemorrhoid Decision Matrix

Calibrated using pain/recurrence data from the eTHiD (BMJ) & HubBLe (Lancet) trials.

1. Prioritise your Recovery (Pain vs Time off Work)

I need to work tomorrow
(Minimal Pain) I can take 2 weeks off
(Pain Acceptable)

2. Prioritise the "Cure" (Recurrence Risk)

I accept some risk of return
(Avoid Surgery) I want a permanent fix
(Definitive)
