A member asked:
I'm a gay male and i have external hemorrhoids that don't seem to be responding well to anusol hc.is it possible to return to "pain free" anal sex if i get a hemorrhoid surgery?can it be normal again?

It depends: Have you abstained from sex long enough to allow your hemorrhoids time to heal? Surgery is an option but even then you would have to abstain in order for the wounds to heal.
