Prolapsed hemorrhoids

Last edited: 4/10/2026

Overview

Prolapsed hemorrhoids occur when hemorrhoidal tissue protrudes beyond the anal verge. This condition can cause symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and discomfort.

Diagnosis

  • Diagnosis is typically made via physical examination, including anoscopy or proctoscopy 1.
  • Hemorrhoids are often graded based on the degree of prolapse and whether they reduce spontaneously 1.

    • Management

  • Management options range from conservative measures to surgical interventions.
  • Minimally invasive techniques like Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) are gaining popularity 1.
  • LHP involves using a laser to treat symptomatic hemorrhoids 1.

    • Key Recommendations

  • Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) is a novel, minimally invasive technique for managing symptomatic hemorrhoids 1. (Evidence: Expert opinion)
  • Recommendations for performing a standard LHP procedure address laser settings, preoperative preparations, and perioperative strategies 1. (Evidence: Expert opinion)
  • Consensus was reached on 21 recommendations for LHP procedures, with 16 achieving strong consensus 1. (Evidence: Expert opinion)
