for external harmorrhoids a better option recommended by me to my patients is surgery ..but for a patient who does not want to go for surgery or if you are having some anaesthesia risk. the next option is tab pilex. sitz bath ..and care of constipation by increasing fluid intake and use of any mild laxative ..I think I have helped you
