Hemorroids: Mild non-bleeding hemorrhoids can partially shrink with "sitz baths" and witch hazel applications.If its becoming an annoyance and bleeding you better consult a good surgeon.

Fiber: The best home remedie is diet modification. Try to get about 20-30 grams of fiber per day. This will make sure your stool is soft and you don't strain to have a bowel movement. This will make sure you don't aggravate the existing problem. Preparation h works will with current hemorrhoids. If they persist, you should see a general surgeon for further treatment options.
