Startling news!

Hemorrhoids are very common. It is estimated that approximately one half of all Americans have had this condition by the age of 50. However, only a small number seek medical treatment. Annually, only about 500,000 people in the U.S. are medically treated for hemorrhoids, with 10 to 20% of them requiring surgeries.

I was really surprised when I read this and wanted to share it right away. I hear of very few people ever having hemmorrhoids and I can't really blame them, it's kind of an embarrasing problem!
