It Depends: Taking baths in plain warm water often relieves hemorrhoidal discomfort. The most appropriate treatment, however, cannot be determined until after an exam has been done. Non-hemorrhoid conditions also need to be ruled out. If your problem is, in fact, from internal hemorrhoids, most patients experience significant relief even after the first treatment session, though this varies.
