Hemorrhoids Epidemiology Forecast 2025-2034

Hemorrhoids Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

Expert Market Research's “Hemorrhoids Epidemiology Forecast Report 2025-2034” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of hemorrhoids. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of hemorrhoids across various populations. The study covers age, gender, and type as major determinants of the hemorrhoids-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of hemorrhoids over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

Hemorrhoids Disease Overview

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, refer to swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum and anus. Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the rectum and can cause bleeding during bowel movements. They are usually not painful but may prolapse, causing discomfort or pain. External hemorrhoids develop under the skin around the anus. Common causes of hemorrhoids include straining during bowel movements, obesity, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and pregnancy. Hemorrhoids can be diagnosed based on symptoms and a physical exam.

Hemorrhoids: Treatment Overview

Depending on the severity, treatment for hemorrhoids can range from home remedies and lifestyle changes to medical procedures. Over-the-counter stool softeners can ease bowel movements and reduce strain and discomfort. Over-the-counter creams and ointments are widely used to address inflammation, itching, and pain. Aloe vera gel can also help calm irritation due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and infrared coagulation (IRC) are some of the minimally invasive procedures that can be opted by the patients if conventional treatments do not provide relief or if the hemorrhoids are more severe.

Epidemiology

The hemorrhoids epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for hemorrhoids by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for hemorrhoids and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as total prevalent cases in males and females, and total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• In the general population, the overall prevalence of hemorrhoids is reported to be 4.4%, with nearly half of the Americans reported to develop the condition by the time they turn 50.
• In the United States, around 10.4 million to 1 million new cases of hemorrhoids are estimated to occur annually, with 10 to 20% of the new cases needing a surgical intervention.
• Various studies suggest that the prevalence of hemorrhoids is the highest in Caucasian patients aged between 45 and 65, and patients having a high socioeconomic status.
• Hemorrhoidal disease is considered the third most common outpatient gastrointestinal diagnosis in the United States, with estimates showing that nearly 4 million office and emergency departments visits are due to hemorrhoids each year.

Country-wise Hemorrhoids Epidemiology

The hemorrhoids epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of hemorrhoids varies between countries owing to differences in the diet (fiber intake), healthcare access, cultural practices (such as defecation posture), and lifestyle factors like sedentary behavior or obesity. In the United States, about 1 in 20 people are affected by symptomatic hemorrhoids.
