How Are Hemorrhoids Treated?
I am nineteen years old and have had quite a few hemorrhoids.. I had my first one in February of last year and then I left to school in August. Over the two school semesters (Aug-May) I have had about five or six more hemorrhoids, and I was just wondering if I should be worried?

Hello,
For the hemorrhoids, you should be prescribed stool softener for a few days.
Avoid the intake of excess spicy foods.
Drink lots of water also to loosen stool.
Ibuprofen like an anti-inflammatory drug can be prescribed.
If your piles don't improve than your piles need surgical management like sclerotherapy or other forms of surgical management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
