Effectiveness of Guided Breathing Exercises on Anorectal Pain in Patients With Symptomatic Hemorrhoids
This is a quality assurance trial to evaluate the effectiveness of guided breathing exercises
on reducing the symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease in colorectal surgery patients. All patients
who undergo hemorrhoid surgery are educated on breathing exercises that can be used to reduce
pain and increase relaxation. These patients will be surveyed at their post-operative visit
regarding pain and other symptoms and at their one month post operative visit on the any
hospitalizations and emergency room visits since their surgery.

The effectiveness of guided breathing exercises on reducing the symptoms of hemorrhoidal
disease in colorectal surgery patients will be assessed in this quality assurance trial.
During the pre-operative clinic visit, patients to undergo hemorrhoid surgery are educated on
breathing exercises that can be used to reduce pain and increase relaxation. In this year
long study patient self-reported utilization of the breathing exercises and their level of
pain, sleep quality, gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, constipation, etc), emergency room
visits, and hospitalizations in the month post hemorrhoid surgery will be evaluated. All
patients will be asked to complete a brief survey at their pre-operative and one month
post-operative visits.
