Colorectal Surgeon: A colorectal or general surgeon typically treat hemorrhoids after failure of conservative medical therapy that includes topical ointments and suppositories and increasing the intake of fiber and fluids to eliminate constipation. Hemorrhoidectomy is usually a last resort effort when pain and/or bleeding is refractive to medical therapy.
