Hemorrhoids are one of the most common—and misunderstood—digestive conditions, yet many patients still suffer in silence. In this candid, patient-focused episode, host Jacqueline Gaulin talks with Mitch Guttenplan, MD, FACS, a general surgeon and Medical Director for the CRH O’Regan System, to break the stigma and share clear, evidence-based guidance about hemorrhoids.
Dr. Guttenplan explains the difference between internal and external hemorrhoids, how to recognize common symptoms, and which lifestyle changes can help reduce discomfort and prevent recurrence. He also walks through current treatment options—including the CRH O’Regan System—so patients can better understand what’s available and when it’s time to seek medical care.
This episode is sponsored by the CRH O’Regan System.
