Hello and welcome to HCM,
The management of haemorrhoids depends on the stage of the disease.
The disease is staged according to the degree of prolapse.
In the initial stages, conservative measures are taken like banding, sclerotherapy etc.
However, as the degree of prolapse increases surgical management has to be done.
Thus, consult your surgeon for clinical assessment and thus treatment.
Recurrence after surgery is not common.
Thanks and take care
