Abstract
Hemorrhoids are a common but poorly understood gastrointestinal condition.1 Bowel habits and fiber consumption are frequently cited as risk factors for hemorrhoids, but research has been inconclusive.2 Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have suggested an association between diverticular disease and hemorrhoids.3 We sought to investigate the association between colonic diverticulosis and internal hemorrhoids to validate the prediction from the GWAS.Entities:
