one hundred seventy-three cases of hemorrhoids were operated on in our hospital from September 1993 to December 1995. Intense pain in 4$ of the hemorrhoid cases was investigated, and the results were as follows
1. Intense pain occurred 27.7 % of the hemoeehoid cases.
2. The incarcerative hemorrhoid cases had a higher incidence rate of intense pain than normal hemorrhoid cases.
3. When the relationship between pain and anal resting pressure was investigated there were many cases with intense pain when the anal pressure is higher than normal. Therefore, for cases with high resting pressure preoperatively, partial sphincterotomy should be recommended.
4. As for postoperative intense pain, 89.6 % occurred either on the day of or one day after operation. Therefore, it was thought that analgesics should be administered on both days.
