Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Surgery depends upon the stage and severity of hemorrhoids. If they are grade 3-4 with thrombosed or active bleeding then need surgery. Eat high fibre diet and regular exercise, use metamucil or benefiber for bulk formation. Use syrp lactulose 30ml at night after dinner for five days if stools are hard. If symptoms not improved need to consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
