How Severe?: The treatment of hemorrhoids depends on their severity. Very mild hemorrhoids often respond to dietary changes to increase fiber and water intake. The most severe can require surgical removal. The moderate ones can be managed with minimally invasive techniques such as rubber band ligation and infra-red coagulation.

Hemorrhoids: It is important not to make hemorrhoids worse. Cleaning off after a bowel movement should be gentle. Pre-moistened towlettes can be used to dab the anus. Don’t wipe/rub. Pat the anus dry after cleaning. Avoid using harsh soaps that contain dyes or aromas. Cotton underwear is helpful as it absorbs moisture well.**sitz bathes can be helpful. Sit in a bathtub with warm water. There needs to be.
