Brief Summary  
Hemorrhoids may develop for a number of reasons, such as constipation, obesity, a diet low in fiber, prolonged sitting or standing, deteriorating muscle tone with age, colon cancer, or consequences from surgery or trauma.
Bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal segments is most likely to be the main prevalent etiological reason of the incidence of hemorrhoids. Anal pain and discomfort, itching, bleeding, swelling, and perceived mass in the
perianal zone are considered as the main symptoms of hemorrhoids.
If left untreated, hemorrhoids can worsen and become complicated over time. Conservative methods of treatment for haemorrhoids are covered, including oral rehydration, non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, rest, and dietary fibre, as well as surgical treatments with varying degrees of complications. Surgical hemorrhoidectomy should be reserved for patients with grade IV hemorrhoids and some patients with grade III hemorrhoids who have not responded to office procedures or cannot tolerate them. There are many complications following office-based procedures and operations such as stenosis, infection, fibrosis, fecal incontinence, urinary retention, and ectropion.
