Thromboses hemorrhoid... i was told by a doc on this site that i might have this, first off what exactly is it, second what are the treatments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemorrhoid: A thrombosed hemorrhoid is a hemorrhoid that has a clot in it. It is usually felt as a painful swollen lump around the anus. Treatments can be sitz baths with warm water with several cups of epsom salts added twice daily. Topical creams such as anusol are also helpful. Sometimes if they are extremely painful, they may need to have the clot surgically removed.
