Treat them topically: Everyone has hemorrhoidal tissue. From time to time it swells and causes discomfort. They can bleed, thrombose, and cause serious pain. In most cases, using topical creams will take care of the problem along with rest and elevation of the lower extremity, sitz baths, etc. In other cases the problem remains unresolved, these cases may require surgical management.

Surgery: Once hemorrhoids are formed, only a surgical procedure can remove them. However, most hemorrhoid symptoms can be controlled by taking a fiber supplement, such as metamucil, and thus surgery can be avoided.
