Abstract

Although very often problem, which causes many
difficulties, hemorrhoids are not one of those disorders
that people talk about. Many people suffer in silence,
either from embarrasment or unwillingness to seek help.
For those affected, defecation and sitting on hard surfaces
renders a very painful experience. Untreated simptomatic
hemorrhoids can become more than an annoyance, they
can seriously temper with an active lifestyle and cause
unnecessary suffering. In this article the frequency,
clinical presentation with symptoms and complications,
most common and best options of treatment and self-help
for hemorrhoids will be described with special review of
problems in athletes
