Etymology
The term 'hemorrhoid' originates from the late Middle English word 'hemorrhoides', which came from the Latin 'hemorrhoidฤs' and Greek 'haimorrhoides', literally meaning 'flowing with blood'. This is derived from 'haima', meaning 'blood', which is a reference to the bleeding that often accompanies the condition. The condition has been documented since ancient times, with references made by Hippocrates and Galen. Hemorrhoids are a common ailment, impacting millions of individuals worldwide, often attributed to modern lifestyles that include a lack of dietary fiber and prolonged periods of sitting.
