Chronic Hemorrhoidal Disease (HD) and Acute Hemorrhoidal Disease represent distinct stages of hemorrhoidal conditions. Chronic HD typically refers to persistent or recurrent symptoms over an extended period, often characterized by the presence of hemorrhoidal cushions, discomfort, bleeding, and other related issues. On the other hand, Acute HD involves sudden and severe symptoms, such as thrombosis (formation of blood clots), swelling, and intense pain.
