Medical therapy: Hemorrhoids should be prevented. Surgery should not be done until medical therapy, which is usually successful, has been tried first. Medical therapy includes sits baths, creams suppositories, stool sofeners and fiber. They should be used for six weeks before making the decision to proceed with surgery.
