Hemorrhoids are a relatively common disease in surgical clinics, characterized by varicose veins. They generally occur when there is increased abdominal pressure or constipation, which can easily lead to hemorrhoids. Bleeding during defecation is the most common symptom of hemorrhoids. Not all hemorrhoids involve bleeding; it is most common in internal and mixed hemorrhoids. Minor bleeding may not require treatment, but significant bleeding may necessitate the use of topical ointments and oral hemostatics. Additionally, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid prolonged sitting or standing.
