Abstrakt: Introduction: The risk factors for both Hemorrhoidal disease and chronic venous insufficiency of lower limbs include conditions that generally increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as constipation, diarrhea, pregnancy, delivery, obesity, standing for extended time periods, and chronic coughing. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of varicose veins among patients with hemorrhoidal diseases and to determine the association between hemorrhoidal disease and lower extremity chronic venous insufficiency. Materials and method: The present study is a Case control study. This study is conducted at the department of Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre. 82 patients were included in this study. Results: We showed that, more number of patients had chronic venous insufficiency in case group [24 (58.5 %)] compared to Control [13 (31.7%)] which was statistically significant (p=0.0024) and we also found that, more number of patients had Constipation [14 (34.4%)] in Control compared to Case [13 (75.6%)] it was statistically significant (p=0.0001). Conclusion: We concluded that lower extremity chronic venous insufficiency is more common in patients with hemorrhoidal disease which increases intra-abdominal pressure. Factors identified as having a statistically significant association with hemorrhoids were CVD CEAP class and constipation. Further studies are needed to confirm the correlation between HD and CVD so that a common targeted Medical therapy can be developed for both these diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
