Bleeding: I believe that you will get the best care and follow-up for this problem from a proctologist or colorectal surgeon. If hemorrhoidal pain is severe, it usually indicates a thrombosed hemorrhoid which needs to have a clot removed. If pain has abated but bleeding is profuse, you will need care from the specialists.
