Is it possible to diagnose and cure hemorrhoids on your own

Often it is found that self-diagnosing hemorrhoids would end up causing more harm than good. Indeed, severe inflammation in the veins inside the anus or externally along the anus skin can be pretty painful. So people desperately try to go for any readymade cure at home like using general-purpose medicated creams or ointments.

However, this can be highly risky. For example, the symptoms of swelling in hemorrhoids can be a symptom of other severer issues like anal fissures, several infections, or even rectum cancer. And if hemorrhoids occur internally the issue cannot be self-diagnosed.  Find the best piles doctor in Agra with more than 10 years of experience on our website safesurgerycenter.com.
