Hemmorrhoids: Decreasing the solidity of stools can help for prevention, as large solid stools can cause a pressure in the anal area and hemorrhoids to arise.(increase fluids/fiber). Certain hemorrhoid creams can help decrease the inflammation and shrink them in time. Surgery is available to excise them, or rubber band ligation, etc. Best wishes.

Hemorrhoid treatment: For most hemorrhoids, home treatment is all you need. This includes slowly adding fiber to your meals, drinking more water, and using over-the-counter ointments for a limited time to stop itching. You also may use stool softeners. Surgery to remove hemorrhoids is generally reserved for when medical treatments fail, or if complications occur.
