Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum, which can be very painful. This condition can be caused by excessive pressure on the bowel, strenuous childbirth or weak rectum muscles. It can also be caused by obesity and frequent anal intercourse. Hemorrhoids are very common, with 7 out of 10 people having it at some point in their life.
There are three main types of hemorrhoids:
If not treated, hemorrhoids can result in a prolapse, where the bowel and rectum become displaced. A prolapse usually develops in people with combined internal and external hemorrhoids.
According to the American Gastroenterological Association, the prevalence of hemorrhoids in adults is 30-40% in the US alone. The peak incidence of hemorrhoids is in patients aged between 45-65 years old. It is slightly more common in women than in men. Occurrence of this condition in people younger than 20 years old is extremely rare.
Hemorrhoids is usually diagnosed during a physical examination, where a doctor examines the rectum and anal canal.
After the surgery you will need to follow certain guidelines, such as eating high-fiber food to avoid constipation and applying hemorrhoid cream where there is inflammation.
