Suggest Treatment For Prolapsed Hemorrhoid

My boyfriend has a prolapsed hemorrhoid. Every time he tries to go to the bathroom they get painful again. In turn, he cannot move his bowels in several days. They have bled as well. He is also in pain of course. They calm down after a sitz bath and some witch hazel treatment, however, every time he tries to move his bowels he is back to square one. Should he go to the ER at this point?
