What is your opinion on self ligation of hemorrhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't be serious: Really, you can't be considering such a foolish idea. Nothing good will come of this, so get yourself to a reputable general or colorectal surgeon, and get an informed opinion. I can't say this strongly enough - don't even think about it. Good luck.
