No the doctor is called a Proctologist. What they do if a change of diet and bowel habits does not help they tie the hemorrhoids (it does not hurt) :
The goal of nonsurgical procedures used to treat hemorrhoids, called fixative procedures, is to reduce the blood supply to the hemorrhoid so it shrinks or withers away. The scar tissue left in its place helps support the anal tissue and helps prevent more hemorrhoids from developing.
Fixative procedures include tying off the hemorrhoids with a rubber band (rubber band ligation); using heat, laser, or electric current to create scar tissue (coagulation therapy); or injecting chemicals to shrink the tissue (injection sclerotherapy).

Try Rue Care Oil – it helps when other treatments have failed. Heals the hemorrhoid and strengthen the veins, thus prevent hemorrhoids from returning. No side effects, home treatment, no loss of working hours.
