What to do if i have ibs-c and have developed an internal hemorrhoid. what is my best treatment option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: You need an exam from your primary care doctor or a general surgeon. Many internal hemorrhoids can be banded painlessly in the office setting. Sometimes simply sitz baths with epsom salts is effective. Rarely, surgical excision is required. Sometimes a colonoscopy may be recommended, if bleeding is present.
