Can hemorrhoids heal without medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: if you can find the cause of the underlying inflammation, which is usually constipation, diarrhea, excessive straining. Not all swelling and bleeding st the anus is due to hemorrhoids so be sure you have seen a professional to confirm the diagnosis, Do not self diagnose as you may be completely wrong and miss an opportunity to make a correct and early diagnosis and good prognosis
