A member asked:
Can hemorrhoids go away by themselves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, mostly: Hemorrhoids result from constipation and are best avoided by using fiber in your diet with plenty of water. You can also add natural products like fruit juices colace (docusate sodium) or senekot. When you have taken the pressure off of these stretched veins long enough, they shrink again.
