Objective: The aim and objective of the study is to estimate the levels of vitamin E in blood in grade II & III haemorrhoid patients. Methods: This study was a prospective observational study carried out in Chennai private hospital for a period of 4 months. Institutional Ethical Committee (VISTAS-SPS/IEC/VII/2020/06) approval was obtained before conducting the study. A total of 70 subjects were enrolled based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomized into 2 groups Group 1 includes healthy volunteers and Group 2 includes haemorrhoid patients. By observing the vitamin E levels in both the groups, the role of vitamin E in haemorrhoids is determined. Results: In total, 70 patients were randomized into Group 1 and Group 2 with 35 patients each. Among 70 patients 40 patients were males and 30 patients were females. In that 18 patients in age group 18-25 years, 26 patients in age group 26-35 years, 20 patients in age group 36-45 years and 6 patients were above 45 years of age.
