Observational analysis finds hemorrhoidal disease linked to anal bleeding and other anorectal disorders.
Introduction: Internal or external hemorrhoidal disease can be diagnosed through clinical history and complete proctological examination, making it possible to find associated anorectal disorders. Objective: To evaluate the association of hemorrhagic hemorrhoidal disease with other anorectal diseases. Materials and Method: The reports of 743 were retrospectively analyzed recto sigmoidoscopies in patients with hemorrhoidal disease associated with a history of recurrent anal bleeding were analyzed. Results: The presence of hemorrhoidal disease was observed in concomitance with other anorectal diseases, such as: perianal fistula, anal fissure, polyps and rectal adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The authors conclude that there is a need for a diagnostic investigation, in view of hemorrhoidal disease associated with hematochezia for the correct diagnosis of associated anorectal diseases, given the relative incidence of diseases with malignant behavior.
