“Can haemorrhoids be treated?” – this question is asked by patients who are faced with this disease. Since haemorrhoids are a rather sensitive topic, many people try to forget about the existence of the disease. They believe that there is no need to think about it, it will go away on its own.

Some small haemorrhoids go away on their own within a week. But this does not mean that you can not consult a doctor. After all, a person cannot independently determine the stage of the disease.

In an advanced stage, haemorrhoids can be treated at home. Therapy includes the use of suppositories with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, as well as venotonic drugs. Most haemorrhoids are treated at home. However, in particularly advanced cases, observation in a hospital may be required.
