Abstract
According to VAS, the most common complaint was anal burning and diarrhea in the flower powder group showing a significant decrease in these symptoms at the end of the study as compared to the placebo; flower powder (1.56â¯Â±â¯1.07) vs placebo (3.82â¯Â±â¯1.67) for burning (Pâ¯<â¯.05) and flower powder (1.06â¯Â±â¯0.58) vs placebo (1.95â¯Â±â¯0.79) for diarrhea (Pâ¯=â¯.046). The flower powder prevented anal discomfort and diarrhea induced by prostate radiotherapy, although there were no significant differences between the two groups in RTOG. No serious side effects were reported, so the combination could be suggested for patients who cannot tolerate symptoms of proctitis after further studies.
