Hello and welcome to HCM,
External hemorrhoids are caused when the they are prolapsed outside the anal orifice and do not reduce back into the anal canal.
Conservative measures are unlikely to help in this condition.
Surgical treatment is the definitive treatment at this stage.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your surgeon for clinical assessment and thus management of the condition.
In the meanwhile, supportive measures can be taken as suggested by your surgeon.
Thanks and take care
