How Can Hemorrhoids Be Treated?
I have what I believe are hemorrhoids that become inflamed every time I use the bathroom. More often than not they bleed when I go to the bathroom, and they almost always bleed when I wipe myself after. I can see that they become quite large after I have used the bathroom. This has been going on for almost a year. They are not usually painful. Should I see a doctor about this, and if so, should I see a GP or a specialist?

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Some advice that I can give to you are:
1) Apply a hemorrhoid cream.
2) Use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
3) Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
If you don't get better, see your local doctor.
Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
Take care
