Hello doctor,
I have been to see my GP a while ago about hemorrhoids. I cannot remember when I first got them. It was a while ago. I have done the usual. Eat fiber to soften stools. Taken herbal tablets to soften them. Have done the warm water baths. Have done pile creams. I went to the toilet yesterday and it was slightly harder than normal. Now have a massive lump. After I had gone, I found blood when wiping. It is absolutely agonizing. I am now weird about going to the toilet because of how much it will hurt. I wanted to know if there are any other treatments you could suggest. I have had a look up about it and says about surgery. I was wondering, I think I remember something about an injection to reduce it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There is a procedure other than surgery, called sclerotherapy. This is a very simple procedure, done in the outpatient department. A sclerosing agent is injected into the hemorrhoid which allows it to shrivel and shrink. It is done under local anaesthesia. Hope this helps.
