See your Dr.: Multiple minimally invasive treatments are available. Ask your doctor. Chronic hemorrhoids can be associated with other colon conditions like colon (rectal) cancer. You need to get checked out.

See a doctor: You may need to control constipation and see a colorectal surgeon for possible surgical treatment.
