you dad may need to see a proctologist (a surgeon who specializes in hemorrhoids and other rectal disorders). topical creams only do so much. reduce the inflammation at best. but they do not permanently remove hemorrhoids. like it or not the only definitive treatment for recurrent problematic hemorrhoids is to have them surgically removed (there are a variety of methods).
hemorrhoids after the cream was applied it went away but it has stopped working and this lump has become really hard. doctor has prescribe this cream and in the past it had been working shrinking away or swollen has disappeared. but in feb this occur again for him and he's been using this cream since but it hasn't shrink at all instead it became really hard lump. whats the cause of the hardness? and what should i do for my dad?
