How Can A Hemorrhoid Be Treated?
Hi. I have a hemmoroid that developed about one week ago. It appears to be external. I was on pain medication and became constipated. that normally never happens to me. I do Sits baths, but it does not seem to be getting better and is painful. Should I go to the doctor or wait a little while longer. I have had a fissure and a hmmoroid removed a couple of years ago.

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your proctoscopy rectal examination needs to be done first
For that Consult nearby surgeon for examination and proctoscopy
Local lignocaine gel will be beneficial in relieving pain
Anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen prescribed for five days
Continue anal water sitz bath
Stool softener also should be prescribed to relieve constipation
Avoid straining at stool
Drink more water
Avoid excess spicy foods
Take care
Hope your concern solved
