[The importance of hemorrhoids in gynecology and obstetrics (author's transl)].
Hemorrhoids are of enough importance in gynecology and obstetrics that the gynecologist should be well versed in proctologic diagnosis and treatment. In the gynecological office practice about 19% of the patients and in the antenatal practice about 46% of the patients have hemorrhoids which require treatment. Prior to treatment an exact examination with the exclusion of carcinoma of the rectum is important. The indications for different modes of treatment are discussed. Minor hemorrhoids require only general and conservative measures. Recurrent and severe hemorrhoid problems require specific treatment. The specific treatment should be as tolerable for the patient as possible, have few recurrences and be economic regarding time and money. These requirements are best fulfilled by aspiration rubberband ligature or the combination of this ligature with cryotherapy.
