  • Title: [Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of hemorrhoids].
    Author: Arullani A, Berloco P, Alloni R, Altomare V, Ripetti V.

    Abstract:
    Haemorroidal disease has often typical presentation with rectal bleeding, anal prolapse and pain. Practitioners and patients usually underestimate the symptoms; in adults and older people the same symptoms may suggest neoplastic disease, which may be synchronous. Proctoscopy is the main diagnostic test for staging; endoscopic examination with biopsy is helpful to differentiate neoplastic, granulomatous and inflammatory anorectal lesions. In our mind, a complete study of anorectal function and morphology is necessary for a correct diagnosis.
