Cannot say without: exam. BUT hemorrhoids are only treated with surgery if the clot is fresh and not if it is healed/scarred in. Surgery won't prevent the next one. If someone has a severe reason for them (near fatal liver cirrhosis) the operation carries some noticeable risks.

Hemorrhoids: The best treatment for internal hemorrhoids is to drink a whole lot of water and to take a fiber supplement with every meal. It is difficult for most people to consume high-fiber diet therefore just taking a fiber supplement with every meal should keep your stools extremely soft. I imagine that he does not recommend surgery because this is a long drawn out process which can be very painful
