Could you summarize the situation of Hemorrhoid disease, which is a problem for many people around us, in our country? What are your observations about Turkey?
Unfortunately, there are no statistics about hemorrhoid disease in our country. In fact, it is necessary to first answer the question of whether hemorrhoids are a disease or not. We can explain hemorrhoids simply through a bottle model. Let's imagine that you turn the bottle upside down and the mouth of the bottle becomes the anus. But the bottle has a neck, 3-5 cm upwards. Then the bottle expands. This neck part is called the anal canal. This is also the case with our body. It is in the form of a narrow channel that our sphincter muscles squeeze after entering through the anus. It is 2-3 cm high in women and 3-4 cm high in men. Afterwards, it expands and moves towards the rectum, which is called the last part of the large intestine. There are a number of vascular structures within this anal canal, especially in the lower part close to the anus. These are hemorrhoidal veins. These are present in everyone under normal conditions. When these veins swell, deform, swell or prolapse; Then it is possible to talk about hemorrhoid disease. Therefore, as a social data, we have seen that the recurrence rate of the disease is higher than in classical surgery.
In classical surgery, the breasts are removed completely from the top point, where the vessels come from, and the swollen breast, which is their extension, is cut off. The opening in the removed area is closed by stitching or left open to close on its own. This type of surgery is a definitive solution. It is not possible for the disease to recur from the same hemorrhoid vein.
