Abstract

Hemorrhoids are among the most common anorectal disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. This paper explores their clinical presentation, pathophysiology, classification, diagnostic approaches, and both conservative and surgical management strategies. It also highlights the public health impact of hemorrhoids, their role in early detection of more serious gastrointestinal conditions, and the significance of recent technological advances such as Doppler-guided ligation and laser therapy. Emphasis is placed on preventive measures and patient education, reflecting the modern medical shift toward minimally invasive care. Overall, hemorrhoids represent not only a common clinical concern but also a multidisciplinary challenge in modern healthcare.
