Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Healing at the 5th day after starting treatment, according to the following criteria: all patients with Total Response in the evaluation at 5 days, given by the complete disappearance of pain and edema, and the reduction of more than 90% of the initial size of the lesion with neither absence of relapse nor need of thrombectomy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical response at 24 and 72 hours after starting treatment. Edema, the presence or not will assess through direct physical examination (inspection) of the region. Pain, measured by a scale of pain faces (validated) Size of the lesion; it is an indirect measure and more objective of the development of edema; for this the patient will be placed in prone position with exposure of the anal part and will be measured (ruler in millimeters) in centimeters (at the inclusion, 24 horas, and at 3 and 5 days after starting treatment) the largest horizontal and vertical diameters of the lesion. Need to apply surgery. Relapse (at the 5th day and in the consultation for a follow up at 20 days).
