Hello, There are several modes of treatment available for hemorrhoids and they depend on the staging. For those which bleed, surgical methods are applicable. They include banding, injections into the hemorrhoids and ultimately, removal. There are ointments available to control the itching. Avoid prolonged sitting and pressure on the pelvic region as it tends to increase the size of the hemorrhoids. Try to avoid constipation and excessive straining at stool. Take plenty of fluids and fresh fruits and vegetables. Hope this helps.
