Hemorrhoids surgery should only be considered when all other methods have failed to provide proper relief from your hemorrhoids.
Three signs that hemorrhoids surgery may be necessary are: Extreme Pain - If your hemorrhoid pain is so severe that it is interfering with your normal daily activities, and no over the counter or other remedies are providing you with any type of relief from your pain, surgery may be necessary.
If this is the case, contact your physician immediately and he or she will diagnose the best plan of action for your particular situation.
All Other Hemorrhoid Treatment Options Have Been Exhausted - you have tried all the hemorrhoid treatments you can get hands on and nothing is helping to get rid of your hemorrhoids.
This is another reason, hemorrhoids surgery may be considered.
For most people home treatments will work to relieve and manage their hemorrhoids but there are a few individuals who can't get their hemorrhoids to go away no matter what they try.
Excessive Bleeding - It is very rare but sometimes hemorrhoids start to bleed and continue to bleed.
If the bleeding becomes excessive and does not seem to subside this may cause your doctor to consider removing them surgically.
It is normal to see a small amount of blood from time to time when wiping but large amounts of blood on a continuous basis is not a normal occurrence.
Hemorrhoids surgery is used as a last resort as it can be quite painful and has the possibility to become infected.
Before electing to have surgery for your hemorrhoids, be sure that you have tried all other possible treatment options first.
