Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for posting in XXXXXXX
Hemorrhoids are not serious illness; but many at times they cause recurrent and painful episodes requiring surgery. Therefore I would be a bit concerned and hope that you get this treated at the earliest.
If I were to be treating you, I would start you on stool softener and encourage you to take high fiber diet with plenty of water. I will recommend that you to consider surgical options.
You can discuss with your family and your treating doctor and get this removed.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
Regards
