Symptoms of haemorrhoids include rectal haemorrhage, discomfort, pruritis, and mass. Haemorrhoids may be seen in persons of all socioeconomic backgrounds, from the poor to the wealthy. Haemorrhoids develop as a result of anal cushion weakening and venous engorgement. In this study, 100 outdoor patients who complained of bleeding per rectum and whose mass had either naturally decreased (second degree) or required physical reduction of mass (third degree) over the course of a year were examined in the general surgery department at Mount Zion Medical College, Adoor. The study examined the results of rubber band ligation in cases of internal haemorrhoids in the second and third degree using observational cross-sectional prospective methods. The Institutional Ethical Committee cleared the study. According to the clinical presentation of the patients, bleeding was the primary symptom in the majority of participants (92%) followed by prolapse during faeces (81%); additional symptoms included pain (27%), irritation (22%)and discharge (18%).
