Care of hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids, most like varicose vein, do bleed. Therapy for hemorrhoids: bowel regimen (fiber, stool softeners, water, juice probiotics, laxatives to achieve two soft bowel movements daily), salves (prep h, desitin, (zinc oxide diaper cream) anti fungal), and hygiene (shower, hair dryer area daily). If therapy fails to control hemorrhoid/bleed, then see your doc for more medical therapies and safe surgery.
