Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Haemorrhoids are varicose veins of the rectum covered by mucosa at or near the anal canal. They are normally asymptomatic, can occur at any age and affect both males and females. In this review, we address the issue of the approach of the obstetrician to haemorrhoids and their management. Haemorrhoids are common in young women and commoner during pregnancy and the puerperium. Obstetricians and gynaecologists should be familiar with haemorrhoids, a proctological disease, diagnosis and their treatment, but they have little experience regarding the impact of pregnancy on haemorrhoids. The obstetrician must be able to relieve symptoms in patients who are pregnant, or who have just delivered. |
