New study aims to uncover why straining worsens hemorrhoids
NCT ID NCT07161765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how straining affects people with bleeding hemorrhoids. Researchers will use surveys and a standard test called anorectal manometry to understand the link between pelvic floor problems and hemorrhoid symptoms. The goal is to help doctors give better treatment advice. About 100 adults who have had a recent colonoscopy and are scheduled for anorectal manometry will take part.
