Abstract

Haemorrhoids is swollen veins in the lowest part of rectum and anus. Haemorrhoid symptoms occur in over 50% of men and women aged 50 and older during their lifetime.2 Every year, approximately 1 million cases of haemorrhoids are reported globally, with a prevalence rate of 47 per 1000 individuals. This prevalence increases with age, particularly among those aged 45 to 65, where it's estimated that 50-85% of people worldwide have haemorrhoids. In India around 75% of the population is estimated to be affected by haemorrhoids.3 A significant portion of the population experiences haemorrhoids, leading to symptoms such as bleeding, pain, itching, prolapse or changes in bowel habits. These symptoms can cause considerable discomfort and inconvenience, disrupting daily routine and causing significant mental distress for the affected individuals.
