Abstract
This report consists of academic sources and literature summaries that support the idea that hemorrhoids are a symptom of underlying health problems. The aim is to provide in-depth information about the causes, symptoms, and associated diseases of hemorrhoids.
Introduction
Hemorrhoids are a painful and uncomfortable condition caused by swelling and dilation of the veins in the anal area. This report aims to explore the causes of hemorrhoids and their relationship to underlying health problems.
1. Causes of Hemorrhoids:
Constipation and Diarrhea: Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can cause swelling and cracking in the anal area, triggering the formation of hemorrhoids. The formation of anal fissures (cracks) causes constant discomfort and hemorrhoids.

Genetic Factors: It is stated that hemorrhoids may occur due to genetic predisposition. The risk is higher in individuals with a family history of hemorrhoids.

Pregnancy: Increased pressure and hormonal changes during pregnancy can trigger the formation of hemorrhoids.

2. Clinical Symptoms of Hemorrhoids:
Pain and Bleeding: The most common symptoms of hemorrhoids are pain, bleeding, and discomfort in the anal area. These symptoms are also associated with anal fissures and other disorders of the anus.

3. Diseases Associated with Hemorrhoids:
Anal Fissures: Anal fissures are characterized by tears in the rectal mucosa and usually occur as a result of constipation, diarrhea, and childbirth. Hemorrhoids may develop as a defense mechanism in the anal region.

Fistulas: Fistulas create abnormal connections in the anal area, creating an environment conducive to the formation of hemorrhoids and are often associated with infections and inflammatory processes.

Polyps: Colorectal polyps are abnormal growths in the intestinal mucosa and can cause changes in blood flow in the anal area, triggering the formation of hemorrhoids.

Proctitis: Proctitis is inflammation of the rectum, and inflammation affects local blood circulation, contributing to the formation of hemorrhoids.

Conclusion: This report consists of literature summaries that support the idea that hemorrhoids are not a disease in themselves but rather a symptom of underlying health problems. These findings that support your hypothesis may guide the exploration of new approaches to hemorrhoid diagnosis and treatment.
