What is the best treatment for severe hemmorhoids?

Question

I've tried "banding" and that proved to be very painful and not too successful. The doctor offered a couple of surgical procedures, but both sounded painful and not something I'm anxious to try. The infrared coagulation therapy looked promising to me, but the doctor said it's not too effective. I want to make sure that he was speaking truth, and not just wanting to promote the surgical alternative.

Answer 1

Mine are not severe but if they were I would definitely opt for the surgical fix to be done with it.

Answer 2

Try Vicks Vapo Rub...Dr. Gott's suggestion
