Overview

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Natural History

The common man in general tolerates the disease for a long time ,self treating with lot of ointments available over the counter and seeks medical aid only when intolerable

The main reasons for seeking delayed advise are as follows:

  • Myths about the surgical treatment
  • Postoperative pain
  • Fear of incontinence after surgery

Complications

Prognosis

Hemorrhoids are not dangerous, and only need to be treated if they cause very bothersome symptoms. If hemorrhoids occur during pregnancy, they will usually regress spontaneously after childbirth. For hemorrhoids related to constipation, the prognosis is also good, provided you make the necessary changes to your diet and lifestyle. For hemorrhoids that cause persistent symptoms despite nonsurgical treatment, the results from office treatment or surgery are usually very good.
