Result: The clinical manifestations were as follows: 51 (26.9%) had bleeding through rectum, 52 (27.5%) had prolapse, 32 (16.9%) had pain during defecation, and 19 (10%) had pruritis. The hemorrhoids were classified as per their grades. 51 (26.9%) had Grade I, 31 (16.4%) had Grade II, 38 (20.1%) had Grade III, and 69 (36.5%) had Grade IV.
