How to treat hemmoroids?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hemorrhoids: There are three steps to self treating hemorrhoids (blood clots in the rectal veins). 1. Soak: keep the area clean so that infection doesn't set in. 2. Soften your stool: keep from bearing down hard when having a bm so that the clot doesn't grow 3. And finally, steroids to shrink up the inflammation.

Most don't need surg: Most people don't need surgery. Many can be treated with simple office procedures. In the meantime, increase the fiber and water in your diet. Avoid over the counter remedies.
