Brief Answer:
if they do not cause any problems then no treatment is needed

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Hemorrhoids are dilated (widened) veins in the anal region

These veins can remain dilated for a long time and they can occasionally act up and become inflame/irritated with bleeding and pain.
In some persons, they do not act up and do not cause any problems

A high fiber diet helps because it prevents constipation. Constipation and a persistent cough can worsen the hemorrhoids.

They are only treated when they act up. If they act up a lot despite using a high fiber diet then a person may need surgery

If they do not cause any problems then no treatment is needed

I hope this helps ,feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
will not cause any harm outside of bleeding or pain

Detailed Answer:
HI

They do not cause any harm outside of the pain or bleeding that can occur if they are irritated

They do not become cancerous or undergo any other dangerous changes

If the appearance is disturbing,which can sometimes occur, surgery can also be done to remove them

Please feel free to ask anything else
