FREQUENCY OF INTERNAL HEMORRHOIDS IN PATIENT WITH LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING UNDERGOING COLONOSCOPY

Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of internal hemorrhoids in patients presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding undergoing colonoscopy. Patients And Methods: The six months cross sectional study was conducted from 16 November 2011 to 15 May 2012 in the department of Gastroenterology, Liaquat National Hospital, Karachion patients presenting with lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Out of 203 patients, there were 111 (54.7 %) males and 92 (45.3%) females, with 1.2:1 male to female ratio.
