Is using over-the-counter creams a piles solution? is surgery avoidable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes avoidable : Yes avoidable most of the time , by diet and local care, you must see your doctor, to rule out presence of colorectal cancer, as self treatment will delay detection of a curable disease.
