Broadcaster Yang Se-hyeong shared his experiences, saying he had suffered from hemorrhoids.
In the SBS ‘All The Butlers’ broadcast on the 11th, while a special feature of ‘Doctors Without Shame’ was in progress, Hong Seong-woo, Han Sang-bo, and Im Ik-gang, who specialize in urology, hair loss, and colorectal and anal surgery, appeared.
“Statistically, about 20% of Korean adults suffer from hemorrhoids,” said Im Ik-kang, a specialist at the hospital. Hemorrhoids surgery is the second most common surgery for mild disease.”
He continued, “All diseases that occur in the anus are collectively called hemorrhoids. The bottom of the intestine is the anus, where blood is bound to flow. Tightening the sphincter prevents hemorrhoids, and sitting for long periods of time can loosen the sphincter. At this point, hemorrhoids may develop. It’s good to spread your legs or sit on a high chair.”

If so, how many types of hemorrhoids are there? Regarding this, specialist Lim Ik-kang said, “If we classify in detail, there are about 200 kinds. Among these, the representative diseases are dentition, fistula, and hemorrhoids.
At this time, Yang Se-hyeong said, “I was going to flush the water after doing some chores, but the toilet water was red. Surprised, I searched the internet a lot. He thought it was colon cancer. It was like that for a few days. He was embarrassed, but he thought it was life-threatening and he went to the hospital.”
Doctor Im Ik-gang, who heard this, said, “Bleeding is highly likely to be hemorrhoids. The anal glands are responsible for supporting healthy bowel movements. If water gets into this place, it can become stale, which can develop into a fistula. In the case of hemorrhoids, blood vessels and connective tissue around the anus form a lump and protrude and bleed.”
