Hemorrhoids are a common medical problem that usually can be managed conservatively with dietary changes, stool softeners, and local hydrocortisone creams. Acutely thrombosed external hemorrhoids require excision of the entire hemorrhoidal mass and the overlying skin. Persistently bleeding or painful internal hemorrhoids are best managed by the technique of band ligation.
