Haemorrhoids are normal anatomic components of the anal canal, involved in the fine adjustment of continence. This physiological role requires normal size and location. The anatomical aspects of haemorrhoids do not reflect their symptomatic expression. Natural evolution of haemorrhoids is benign, but most often chronic, with spontaneous worsening.
