This treatment is usually performed on internal hemorrhoids, but it can be successfully used on external hemorrhoids as well?

To answer your question, no. Rubber bands are used for internal hemorrhoids.
Some diets that you can do is to increase your water and fiber intakes. Taking warm water baths for about 15 mins a day will also help.
I recommend this site which has quite alot of info on hemorrhoids http://www.bestnaturalhemorrhoidstreatment.com/ and i personally had bought h miracle which i also found there and it has worked for my wife to get rid of her hemorrhoids. It’s a home based remedy solution that you can use at home. See if you can benefit from it as well.
Hope this helps.
I don’t think so.
Not that I am aware of. Usually external hemorrhoids will respond well to creams, ointments and change in diet. Hope that helps.
