Which options do i have about my hemorrhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Surgical vs medical. The best "medical" treatment is usually Hydrocortisone suppositories for an acute process. Chronic disease depends on whether they are internal or external or both. I personally don't believe in banding but others do. Surgery is more definitive but much more painful usually. Beware of anyone who tells you it's easy because this is one of the oldest diseases known to man.
