How To Treat The Thrombose Hemorrhoids That Turn Into Skin Tags?
I have a history of thrombose hemorrhoids that eventually turn into skin tags. I usually have them lanced by my physician and they heal up quickly and fairly painlessly. However the last time I visited my proctologist he suggested that I have it removed if it ever flares back up. I am just in the process of moving to a new state, which means lots of flying and road trips in the next couple weeks. If I was to have it removed, what would be the process, and more importantly what is the recovery time?

Hi,
I would not irritate this very sensitive body area with skin tag removals! Yes, anal thromboses and hemorrhoids can be unpleasant, but they are normally not dangerous. If you have a 'sitting' job or if you have to travel a lot try to keep your stool soft with magnesium supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
