Hemorrhoids: External hemorrhoids are mainly symptomatic (painful) when they develop a small blood clot(thrombosis). This is usually treated with Sitz baths, NSAIDS and occasionally a minor office procedure to remove clot. You can read more excellent patient advice here, just enter the following into the search bar: bit.ly/1vNeGSm Topical lidocaine ointment OTC may help pain. Avoid constipation.
