About Hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids refer to the symptomatic enlargement, inflammation, and distal displacement of normal vascular cushions located within the anal canal and distal rectum.

This anorectal disorder affects adult populations across all demographics, frequently exacerbated by elevated intra-abdominal pressure, chronic constipation, straining during defecation, or pregnancy.

Pathophysiologically characterized by the dilation of arteriovenous plexuses and the breakdown of supporting connective tissue, the condition is categorized as internal or external based on its anatomical position relative to the dentate line.

Clinical manifestations commonly include painless bright red rectal bleeding, tissue prolapse, anal pruritus, perianal irritation, and acute pain if thrombosis occurs.
