A member asked:
Do you think i should i go for surgery with my hemorrhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I feel surgery for hemorrhoids is justified if symptoms cannot be controlled with nonsurgical methods. Symptoms would include bleeding, large protruding hemorrhoids (prolapsed), or external hemorrhoids that repeatedly develop clots and pain.

What can I do about hemorrhoids that won't go away. Unfortunately i've had them for about 2-3 years, they do not hurt or bleed. Medicine, surgery?
