I have
large hemorrhoids that protrude from my anus. They do not bother me, but they
have gotten larger over the past 12 months. I have no pain, do they need to be
treated?
If you have
had these hemorrhoids for a long time, they are unlikely to disappear. However,
before you see a surgeon, get your constipation treated. Anything that causes
straining, can worsen hemorrhoids. After you treat your constipation, wait a
few weeks or months and see what happens. If they still protrude outside, then
the only treatment is surgery.
I should warn you right now-even though hemorrhoid
surgery is commonly performed, the results are abysmal. The majority of people
are not satisfied. So select your surgeon well. First treat hemorrhoid with a
change in diet, add fiber and use laxatives. The more your stay away from surgeons,
the longer you will live a good quality of life.
