Title: Hemorrhoidal Disease among doctors from Grade-A Tertiary Hospitals in Big Cities of
China: results from web-based doctors as patients survey
Version: 2 Date: 28 Jun 2023
Reviewer's report:
The article ,though interesting, is based on a questionnaire where more than 50% of the doctors
who suffered from HD have not had a physical examination. The major symptom experienced
was pain followed by bleeding . In anal fissure too the major symptom is pain followed by
bleeding; so how do we know that the majority of doctors whose main symptom was pain were
not suffering from anal fissure rather than haemorrhoids. The study has assumed that these
doctors were suffering from HD. Further clarification is needed on this point before accepting
the article
