So, I have had hemorrhoids for a few months now, off and on, mostly external. It started about 3 months ago, and they went away on their own. Then a few weeks after, they came back and did not subside. I purchased some prep-h cream, which helped considerably and they went away for awhile. When they came back, I used the prep-h cream, but it did little to help this time. I really only used it in the mornings and at night, other than the "up to 4 times daily" on the box, since during the day isn’t really practical for me. I purchased the ointment, I figured that it would work better because of the consistency, but they came back after its use like the cream. I tried to use the attachment and place the ointment further inside, but no luck. They are back now with some bleeding off and on. What should I do? I know that a doctors visit would be logical, but I don’t want any type of surgery done.

Does anyone reccommend a treatment that worked for them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! : )
