🩺 Hemorrhoids MCQ Quiz
Q1. A 45-year-old man presents with painless bright red rectal bleeding noticed on tissue paper after defecation. On anoscopy, hemorrhoidal tissue is seen bulging into the lumen but does not prolapse. Which grade of internal hemorrhoid is this?
- A) Grade I
- B) Grade II
- C) Grade III
- D) Grade IV
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: A — Grade I
Grade I hemorrhoids bulge into the lumen of the anorectal canal on anoscopy but do not prolapse. Bleeding is the typical symptom. Grade II prolapse spontaneously reduces; Grade III requires manual reduction; Grade IV is irreducibly prolapsed.

Q2. A patient with hemorrhoids requires manual reduction after each bowel movement, but the hemorrhoids do not prolapse spontaneously at other times. What is the most appropriate first-line office-based procedure?
- A) Infrared photocoagulation
- B) Rubber band ligation
- C) Hemorrhoidectomy
- D) Sclerotherapy with phenol in olive oil
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: B — Rubber band ligation
Grade III hemorrhoids (prolapse requiring manual reduction) are best managed with rubber band ligation, which is effective for grades II and III. Infrared photocoagulation is suited for small grades I and II. Sclerotherapy works for grades I–III but is less effective for prolapsing hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidectomy is reserved for large or refractory cases.

Q3. A 38-year-old woman develops sudden severe perianal pain and a tender, bluish, firm perianal lump 12 hours after heavy lifting. She has no fever. Which is the MOST appropriate management?
- A) Oral anticoagulants and observation
- B) Rubber band ligation in clinic
- C) Elliptical excision under local anesthesia
- D) Emergency hemorrhoidectomy under general anesthesia
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: C — Elliptical excision under local anesthesia
This describes an acutely thrombosed external hemorrhoid (< 72 hours). The treatment of choice within the first 72 hours is elliptical excision in the office under local anesthesia. Simple incision and drainage is rarely effective because the clot is usually loculated. After 72 hours, the clot resorbs and conservative management (sitz baths, analgesics) suffices.

Q4. Internal hemorrhoids are characteristically painless UNLESS which of the following occurs?
- A) Bleeding from grade I hemorrhoids
- B) Prolapse requiring manual reduction (grade III)
- C) Thrombosis and necrosis due to strangulation
- D) Mucous discharge from grade II hemorrhoids
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: C — Thrombosis and necrosis due to strangulation
Internal hemorrhoids are covered by insensate anorectal mucosa (above the dentate line), so they rarely cause pain. Pain in internal hemorrhoids occurs specifically when they develop thrombosis and necrosis, usually from severe prolapse, incarceration, or strangulation. In contrast, external hemorrhoids cause significant pain even with simple thrombosis because the anoderm is richly innervated.

Q5. Which of the following correctly identifies the three primary anatomical positions where internal hemorrhoids occur?
- A) Right lateral, left anterior, left posterior
- B) Right anterior, right posterior, left lateral
- C) Left anterior, left posterior, right lateral
- D) Right lateral, left lateral, posterior midline
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: B — Right anterior, right posterior, left lateral
Internal hemorrhoids arise from the superior hemorrhoidal venous plexus and occur characteristically at right anterior, right posterior, and left lateral positions (3, 7, and 11 o'clock in lithotomy position). "Hemorrhoids" found elsewhere should raise concern for other pathology such as carcinoma, lymphoma, or condyloma.

Q6. A patient with known portal hypertension from cirrhosis presents with rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy reveals dilated submucosal vessels in the rectum. Which of the following is TRUE regarding this finding?
- A) Hemorrhoidal disease is more common in portal hypertension
- B) These are hemorrhoids and should be rubber band ligated
- C) These are rectal varices and surgical hemorrhoidectomy should be avoided
- D) Sclerotherapy is the definitive treatment in all cases
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: C — These are rectal varices and surgical hemorrhoidectomy should be avoided
Hemorrhoidal disease is not more common in portal hypertension than in the general population. However, rectal varices may develop and cause hemorrhage. These are best treated by lowering portal venous pressure. Surgical hemorrhoidectomy should be avoided in portal hypertension. Suture ligation may rarely be necessary for massive persistent bleeding.

Q7. Sclerotherapy for internal hemorrhoids involves injection of a sclerosing agent into which tissue plane?
- A) Intramuscular layer of internal anal sphincter
- B) Submucosa at the apex of the hemorrhoid
- C) Perianal subcutaneous tissue
- D) Overlying mucosa directly into the hemorrhoid lumen
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: B — Submucosa at the apex of the hemorrhoid
In sclerotherapy, 1–3 mL of a sclerosing solution (e.g., phenol in olive oil, sodium morrhuate, or quinine urea) is injected into the submucosa at the apex of each hemorrhoid. This causes fibrosis and reduces blood supply. It is effective for grades I, II, and some grade III hemorrhoids.

Q8. A 50-year-old man is told he has hemorrhoids but wonders why they form in those specific locations. Which of the following best explains the pathogenesis of symptomatic hemorrhoids?
- A) Increased arterial supply from the inferior mesenteric artery
- B) Deterioration of anchoring connective tissue with descent of hemorrhoidal cushions
- C) Bacterial infection of the superior hemorrhoidal venous plexus
- D) Hypertrophy of the external anal sphincter causing venous obstruction
🔍 Show Answer
✅ Answer: B — Deterioration of anchoring connective tissue with descent of hemorrhoidal cushions
The pathogenesis involves age-related or aggravating-factor-related (e.g., straining, pregnancy, pelvic tumors) deterioration of the anchoring and supporting connective tissue, causing hemorrhoidal cushions to bulge and descend, leading to symptoms. The internal anal sphincter (IAS) may become hypertrophic; during straining, the fecal bolus forces hemorrhoidal cushions to descend through the narrowed outlet and enlarge.

📊 Quick Reference: Hemorrhoid Grading
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| I | Bulges into lumen, no prolapse, may bleed |
| II | Prolapses on straining, reduces spontaneously |
| III | Prolapses, requires manual reduction |
| IV | Irreducibly prolapsed, risk of strangulation |
