Authors' objectives:
To determine whether there is evidence to support the positive association of heavy lifting with hemorrhoids.
Authors' results and conclusions:
Upon examination of the titles and abstracts of these published studies, there are no published studies that are relevant to this systematic review. At present, there is insufficient evidence to support the positive association of heavy lifting with hemorrhoids as there were no relevant studies found in this systematic review.
Authors' methods:
A systematic literature search was started on October 31, 2023. This literature search was conducted on commercial medical literature databases. The search was done by employing combinations of keywords. Full search strategies can be found in Appendix 2. No limitations on date of publication were implemented in any of these searches. A manual search was also planned and conducted on the references of the articles that were retrieved in full.
