This study aims to understand the mechanisms of straining on anorectal testing, to better help people receive more effective treatment advice. The study also aims to understand how anorectal function testing helps to identify people that might benefit from specific treatments that target pelvic floor muscle problems that lead to straining and hemorrhoids.
Patients take an online survey to assess symptom burden prior to undergoing anorectal function testing to evaluate pelvic floor symptoms that can cause hemorrhoidal disease. There are no study visits outside of routine clinical care.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants had a colonoscopy within the last 12 months for rectal bleeding (with no cause of bleeding found other than hemorrhoids). * Participants provider placed an order for anorectal manometry to the University of Michigan Exclusion Criteria: * Anal fissure * Pregnancy
Enrolled participants will complete surveys prior a standard of care visit at the University of Michigan for anorectal manometry.
