A member asked:
Should i get surgery or creams for hemorrhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get evaluated: 90% of the patients who self-diagnose hemorrhoids don't have them. It all depends on the symptoms and the grade of he problem. If some tissue comes out that you have to push back in, then you probably have problematic hemorrhoids. See a good colorectal or general surgeon.
