Haemorrhoids: a clinical update

A L Polglase. Med J Aust. .

Abstract

Haemorrhoids are common, but careful clinical assessment is necessary to ensure that more significant bowel disease is not overlooked. Most patients with haemorrhoids can be managed non-surgically in an office setting, but conventional haemorrhoidectomy is the best option for patients with large symptomatic haemorrhoids.
