Did the proctologist mention that you have internal hemorrhoids that can be treated & easily removed by banding which is an office procedure that some of my patients successfully had?

seems like you have constipation. Pl use roughage in your diet, take otc Metamucil, drink some water and your hemorrhoids can be taken care of by a proctologist or surgeon under local anesthesia in the office. There is no 'natural 'way to remove them
