內容：

Hemorrhoids are a normal part of the anatomy of the anorectum. They are vascular cushions that protect the anal sphincter, aid closure of the anal canal during increased abdominal pressure, and provide sensory information that helps differentiate between stool, liquid, and gas. Because of their high vascularity and sensitive location, they are also a frequent cause of pathology. It's estimated that by age 50, about half of adults have had problems with hemorrhoids — the common name for both the structures and the clinical disease. Contributing factors include pregnancy, chronic constipation, diarrhea or prolonged straining, weight lifting, and weakening of supporting tissue due to aging or genetics. Treatments for symptomatic hemorrhoid disease in the clinic or emergency room range from nonoperative medical interventions and office-based procedures to surgery. One general guiding principle is that the least-invasive approaches should be considered first, except in cases of acute thrombosis. Specific choices of treatments depend on patient’s age, the severity of symptoms, and comorbidities.
