Practical management of hemorrhoids: pitfalls and plain sailing.
This article is not meant to be a comprehensive review of the surgical literature on treatment of hemorrhoids but rather a practical common-sense guide to the management of the patient who presents to a primary-care physician's office complaining of this disorder. The author discusses the probable differential diagnosis of the common symptoms of hemorrhoids, and suggests a rational approach to the management of internal and external forms of this disorder. The author's opinions are based on 16 years of clinical experience in accepting referrals of thousands of patients with hemorrhoid-related complaints.
