Hemorrhoids are a highly prevalent disease that affects more than 25% of the global population. The number of people who experienced hemorrhoids at least once in a lifetime is very close to the number of anemia cases around the world and is slightly lower compared to the number of hypertension cases. In most cases, hemorrhoids are not a life-threatening condition, however it provides a lot of discomfort for patients and can be a long companion which recquries an interventive procedures. Despite high prevalence, hemorrhoids are a very sensitive topic, and most of the patients discreetly treat the symptoms. An interesting fact is that more than 90% of patients experience shyness over the physical examination and try to postpone it as long as possible. It is the main reason for a strong self-treatment culture around hemorrhoids, which is economically supported by OTC products (ointments, supplements, and creams).
