ABSTRACT

Introduction: hemorrhoidal disease is a global health problem. In Cuba, however, epidemiological data about the population is not available in the literature on the subject. That is the reason why the present paper is aimed at characterizing acute hemorrhoidal disease in selected Cuban hospitals, with particular emphasis on the risk factors leading to its appearance.
Objectives: identify the main risk factors, demographic and base features, toxic and eating habits, and life styles and modes, leading to the appearance of acute hemorrhoidal disease.
Methods: an observational descriptive study was conducted in 11 Cuban coloproctology services. The sample consisted of 510 patients aged 18-75 diagnosed with acute hemorrhoidal disease, who gave their consent to participate in the study. All patients were given an epidemiological survey about toxic and eating habits, and life styles and modes perceived as risk factors for the disease.
Results: almost 75 % of the patients developed the disease. There was a predominance of external hemorrhoids, and the most common signs and symptoms were anal pain, mass sensation, edema and rectal bleeding. Half the patients consume alcohol and most drink coffee, eat spicy foods and must remain in a standing or sitting position for long periods during their daily activities. Few patients consume a fiber-rich diet and abundant water.
Conclusions: corroboration was made of the presence of risk factors and inadequate life styles and modes among the Cuban population which lead to the occurrence of acute hemorrhoidal episodes.
