Thinking about when to undergo surgery for hemorrhoids? Well, let us tell you that surgery is considered to be the last alternative. The management approach is to first try conservative treatments with oral medication and ointments. If the hemorrhoids are very painful and your doctor feels that they are likely to cause complications, then surgery is the best option for you. If you have prolapsed hemorrhoids, it is an advanced stage and in this case you are advised to undergo surgery.
There are many ways of surgery, such as with injection, freezing, infrared light, and cauterization and also by the use of rubber bands and staples. The type of surgery will depend from patient to patient and therefore you are advised to discuss the options with your doctor to know which one suits you the best.
