I have been dealing with hemorrhoids for over a year, on and off. Recently I went back to my gastroenterologist, who gave me a prescription, which worked! Unfortunately, quite a few weeks later, they're back. I have been really trying to aim for 20-25 grams of fiber a day, I should probably exercise and drink more water...but anyways...to make a long story short, my doctor said if they came back that I should call and she would refer me to a colorectal surgeon. Im wondering, would it be better if i just treated the hemorrhoids myself (sitz bath, back on my diet, exercise more water etc) or should I bite the bullet and get the surgery? It would not be normal surgery, I would have to go to a specialist because of where they are located. I am just worried if i have the surgery, they may come back...i just want to get rid of them. I'm 22 for god sakes! I shouldnt have to deal with this *sigh* help me please!
