Question 1

When should I worry about hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

If your hemorrhoids don't improve after a week and you are experiencing rectal bleeding, change in bowel movements, change in stool color or consistency, lightheadedness, or dizziness, it is advisable to consult a hemorrhoid specialist.

Question 2

What is the best hemorrhoid treatment?

Accepted Answer

The best hemorrhoid treatment is based on the severity, size, type and grade of the hemorrhoids.  At USA Hemorrhoids, we specialize in a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure known as Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE). This non-surgical treatment offers significant advantages over traditional surgery, including less pain, a shorter recovery time, and a quicker return to your daily routine.

Question 3

How long does it take for hemorrhoids to go away?

Accepted Answer

Most small hemorrhoids often resolve on their own within a few days with home care and over the counter medication. However, larger hemorrhoids that cause significant pain, swelling, and itching usually do not go away on their own and require medical treatment. For women hemorrhoids that develop during pregnancy may not disappear until after giving birth.

Question 4

What is the best over the counter hemorrhoid treatment?

Accepted Answer

For smaller hemorrhoids a combination of over-the-counter products such as topical creams and ointments containing hydrocortisone, lidocaine and phenylephrine that target different symptoms may be used. However, for larger hemorrhoids and prolonged hemorrhoid symptoms, treatment may be necessary.
