I suffer from hemorrhoids also and have found that taking a fiber supplement has helped tremendously. I use a teaspoon of some metamucil knock-off 1 or 2 times a day. I also only use witchhazel wipes to clean myself after I take a crap. The fiber and the witchhazel have helped me tremendously. Every now and then it acts up a little (usually when I skip my fiber or am eating rich food) but nothing like it used to be. It used to look like I had an olive growing out of my asshole.
I defer to the Dr of course, but I didn't want any kind of operation and though the results took a while it was worth it for me. Good luck,
cosmaz
