A member asked:
Rubber band ligation for hemorrhoids. is it a good option (with good success on first try)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Great option: The success rate is not the best, unless the hemorrhoid is small. If you stick to fiber and stool softeners on a regular basis after the banding the results can be quite long lasting.
