Very often, patients tell me: doctor, I have hemorrhoids! But they mean: anal pain, itching, staining, bleeding… The most important thing is to be sure that the symptom is indeed linked to the hemorrhoid. It is therefore necessary to undergo a careful examination of the region concerned.

The majority of patients with hemorrhoids do very well if they follow healthy lifestyle advice and eat more fiber.
