Your doctor is correct. Hydrate well, eating high fiber diet and exercise in order to avoid constipation and straining then the hemorrhoid will resolve and rectal bleeding will disappear.

To address early onset colon cancer, a colonoscopy is recommend at 10 years prior to the age at which the youngest member in your family developed colon cancer. Hemorrhoids can cause enough blood loss to result in anemia. Get these treated, even if you have no symptoms.
