A member asked:
After banding of hemorrhoids, how long should i expect them to stay away and not return with appropriate lifestyle changes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Permanently: Hemorrhoids are varicose veins, usually caused by excessive straining due to constipation. The key is to not get constipated. Stay regular, with several easy bowel movements each day. To accomplish this, you need lots of fiber, fluids, and perhaps bowel stimulants like magnesium and prunes. Take enough of each of these substances to stay regular.
