Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I believe I have an external hemorrhoid about the size of a grape with a black spot on it for about 4 days. It only bleeds with it gets agitated. So far I have been taking sitz baths, warm showers, and I put ice on it for 5 minutes everyday, also I have taken ibuprofen. The pain has gone down but it still is the same size. Should I see a doctor to remove the clot?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, hemorrhoid can only be treated with surgery and that is the best option for it as long as the cure is concern, conservative treatment can only cures the disease if this just beginning of disease, you can see the doctor for this and discuss for surgery and hope this information helps.
