Summary
This study tests whether taking oral nifedipine, a drug usually used for high blood pressure, can reduce pain and improve wound healing after hemorrhoid removal. One hundred adults in Yemen will receive either nifedipine or a placebo twice daily for two weeks after surgery. Researchers will track pain levels, healing progress, and any complications over 28 days.
