Hemorrhoid Treatment Options

Updated 2026-06-095 min read

Treatment of hemorrhoids is individualised by grade and symptoms — most start with conservative measures, with procedures or surgery reserved for selected cases.

Conservative measures

Fibre, hydration and stool habit changes
Topical agents for short-term symptom relief
Warm sitz baths

Office procedures

Selected internal hemorrhoids respond well to office procedures such as rubber band ligation. Choice depends on grade and patient factors.

Surgical and laser-assisted options

Advanced or persistent disease may require surgical excision or laser-assisted techniques. The technique is selected after examination and discussion with the patient.
