Hemorrhoid surgery. how is it done? i have an external one that won't go away
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variety of methods: Can be cut off, but usually banded - hemorrhoid is pulled up into a tube and a rubber band is slid down over the tube to the base of the hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoid is essentially strangled and falls off after a few days.
