Hi
Thank you for asking @HCM.
Hemorrhoids are usually caused by chronic constipation. Due to constipation & straining during defecation, blood vessels silage and start to bleed during defecation (passing stool). So dietary management is the key solution. Add a lot of fiber in your diet (fresh vegetables & fruits), increase intake of water, & avoid fatty meals. You can take Syrup Lactulose 2 TSF twice daily for relieving constipation.

For polyps, you need to consult a general surgeon for expert opinion as there are many diseases which need to be excluded.
Good day !
