      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group (Topical Metronidazole gel dressing): In the case group, topical metronidazole gel will be applied in wound healing of operated hemorrhoids. Visual Analogue Scale will be employed to measure pain and an expert surgeon will visit the patient to evaluate the degree of epithelization. Intervention 2: Control Group (Traditional wound dressing): In the control group, we will use conventional dressing. Visual Analogue Scale will be employed to measure pain and an expert surgeon will visit the patient to evaluate the degree of epithelization.</i_freetext>
