Symptoms: You likely went to see your doctor for some issue or complaint related to hemorrhoids. The doctor prescribed something to help your symptoms. External hemorrhoid veins are connected to the internal veins. Suppository would generally be used for relief of discomfort & swelling of hemorrhoid veins, inside & outside.
