| Core Tip |
Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is commonly evaluated based on physical symptoms, whereas its psychological burden remains underrecognized. In this cross-sectional case-control study, patients with early-stage HD exhibited significantly higher depression and anxiety scores, assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory, along with reduced quality of life as measured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Short Form, compared with healthy controls. Path analysis demonstrated significant associations between HD status and adverse psychosocial outcomes, supporting the integration of mental health screening into routine colorectal care. |
