A member asked:
I have had an external hemorrhoid that flares up occasionally for eight years. it started during chemo for breast cancer. should i seek treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: External hemorrhoids are mainly symptomatic (painful) when they develop a small blood clot(thrombosis). This is usually treated with Sitz baths, NSAIDS and occasionally a minor office procedure to remove clot.
