Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum and anus. They can cause discomfort, itching, bleeding, and pain, and are often caused by increased pressure in the abdominal and rectal area. Hemorrhoids can be internal or external, with internal hemorrhoids occurring inside the rectum and external hemorrhoids forming outside the anus.

What are the surgical optional for hemorrhoids?
There are several surgical options for hemorrhoids, depending on the severity and type of hemorrhoids. The most commonly used surgical procedures for hemorrhoids include:
Hemorrhoidectomy: This is a surgical procedure in which the hemorrhoids are removed. It is the most effective treatment option for large or severe hemorrhoids.
Stapled hemorrhoidopexy: In this procedure, the blood flow to the hemorrhoids is blocked using a circular stapling device. The hemorrhoids then shrink and are repositioned.
Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation: This procedure involves using an ultrasound to locate the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids, and then tying them off or cutting them to reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoids.
Rubber band ligation: This procedure involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. The hemorrhoid then shrinks and falls off within a week.
