A member asked:

Have external hemorrhoids which are painful. consulted a doctor and on sheriproct suppositories and ointment for one day. then hemorrhoids started bleeding. can i carry on with medication without going back to consult?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
