Immediate management to stop bleeding needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Bleeding hemorrhoids need to be managed immediately.
Stopping bleeding is essential.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon as soon as possible.
Banding is a technique in which the bleeding piles are banded and thus bleeding stops immediately.
definitive therapy can be done once bleeding stops.
Blood loss over long period can lead to blood loss anemia.
Meanwhile I suggest you seitz bath twice a day.

Thus, do not delay.

Thanks and take care

Doctor what would be the consequences of pushing a bleeding pile back. Can I die of bleeding hemorrhoids ? Will surgery be a permanent fix for this ? Thank you for your help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,

Surgery is definitive treatment for bleeding internal piles. Surgery will not cause any side effect.
The immediate requirement is to control bleeding because excessive blood loss can cause hypotension and other related disorders.
Do not panic. If bleeding is controlled well in time, there will be no danger to your life.

Thanks and take care
