thrombosed, then the Doctor may advise the individual to go for a
surgical procedure to remove the tissue causing the problems.

location of the hemorrhoids, for internal hemorrhoids ligation may
be the procedure chosen.  This is where a small rubber band is
positioned around the hemorrhoid to interrupt the blood flow,
this will cause the hemorrhoid to eventually 'drop off'.
This procedure can be done at the Doctors surgery with little
preparation, other procedures include, a hemorrhoidectomy,
cryosurgery and laser treatment, all of which need far more
preparation and explanation.
