This study aims to investigate the characteristics of Traditional Medicine (TM) syndromes in patients diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids at Le Van Thinh Hospital. Internal hemorrhoids are a common anorectal disorder, and their classification in Traditional Medicine remains inconsistent. The study will examine the prevalence of TM syndromes in patients with internal hemorrhoids and assess the correlation between Goligher's classification and TM diagnoses.
The study will follow a cross-sectional observational design with an estimated 178 participants. Eligible patients are 18 years or older, diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids, and willing to participate. The primary outcomes include the prevalence of TM syndromes in internal hemorrhoids, severity classification according to Goligher's scale, and correlation analysis between TM syndromes and clinical severity.
The study has received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and will be conducted from December 2024 to April 2025 at Le Van Thinh Hospital, Vietnam.

| Internal Hemorrhoid Patients with Traditional Medicine Syndrome Classification | This cohort consists of patients diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids based on modern medical criteria (Goligher's classification) and further classified into Traditional Medicine (TM) syndromes. Patients will undergo TM syndrome differentiation, including syndromes such as Blood Heat generating Wind, Blood Stagnation generating Wind, and Spleen Qi Deficiency. The study aims to identify the prevalence of TM syndromes in internal hemorrhoid patients and explore their correlation with disease severity. |

| Prevalence of Traditional Medicine Syndromes in Internal Hemorrhoid Patients | This outcome measures the proportion of patients diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids who exhibit specific Traditional Medicine (TM) syndromes. Patients will be assessed using TM diagnostic criteria to classify them into syndromes such as Blood Heat generating Wind, Blood Stagnation generating Wind, and Spleen Qi Deficiency. The prevalence of each syndrome will be determined as a percentage of the total study population. | Baseline assessment at the time of patient enrollment (within the first visit). |
