Background:
Hemorrhoids, common benign anorectal conditions, are associated with various factors, such as low fiber intake, constipation, and pregnancy. Treatment typically involves procedures such as banding and surgery.
Objective:
This retrospective investigation aimed to assess the frequency and demography of hemorrhoids in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Materials And Methods:
This study was conducted at Jamhuriat Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. Two hundred and fifty-two patients who were diagnosed with hemorrhoids were included. All pertinent demographic data were collected from the medical records and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.
Results:
Males composed 83.7% of the patients, and 32.9% were aged 30-40 years. A lower socioeconomic status was common (61.1%). Bleeding, prolapse, and pain were frequent symptoms. Surgical management was common for third- and fourth-degree hemorrhoids (51.6%).
Conclusion:
This study found a high prevalence of hemorrhoids among males (83.7%) and low-income individuals (61.1%), highlighting the need for further research into risk factors for delayed presentation.
