Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
These methods are just useful for pain relief and it wont on any ways treated the underlying cause so these are useless. For such hemorhoids it is advisable to do surgical excision which is permanent solution ; all other topical remedies are not efficient at all.
