Depends: If this is an acute thrombosed hemorrhoid with swelling this usually resolves in a week or so on it's own. For more chronic problems see a colon and rectal surgeon for evaluation, and depending on anatomy they can offer you the best treatment . Ps also need evaluation to assure that these are indeed hemorrhoids and not something else. Hope this helps.
