General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic., I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Yes, there are few procedures which can be used. In early phase this is
initially treated with dietary changes by having hogh fibre diet with lot of fluids and make your stool soft. Also take fruit, vegetables, avoid chocolate, refined meat, overeating and food that bloates you.

There are supplemets such as Psilium and Detralex which may help as well.
Also, you should use sitz baths and have hemorrhoidal cream such as Detralex

Second, it can be treated with rubber ligation or sclerosation and in severe stages, and this may be done in ambulatory settings.

LAst option is open surgery under general anesthesia and this is recommended if there wont be improvement on these measures that I have mentioned. For such procedures you need to consult specialist called proctologist.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
