Preview Both patients and physicians tend to ascribe all anorectal symptoms to hemorrhoids, but many are caused by other common conditions. Anal fissure, perianal abscess, pruritus ani, and condylomata acuminata that have reached a large size also cause considerable discomfort. Dr Metcalf summarizes identifying characteristics of the disorders, treatments that can be performed in an office visit, and circumstances that may warrant more extensive surgical procedures.
预览 患者和医生往往将所有肛肠症状都归因于痔疮，但许多症状是由其他常见病症引起的。肛裂、肛周脓肿、肛门瘙痒以及长得很大的尖锐湿疣也会引起相当大的不适。梅特卡夫医生总结了这些病症的识别特征、门诊可进行的治疗方法以及可能需要更广泛手术的情况。
