I've been dealing with external and internal hemorrhoids for a year now, and despite being on medication, they're not getting better in fact, they seem to be getting bigger. I'm really nervous about surgery but heard about rubber band ligation. Is this treatment available in Hyderabad, and could it be an option for me?

If your hemorrhoids persist or worsen despite treatment, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a doctor, gastroenterologist, or colorectal surgeon. They can determine the severity, confirm the diagnosis, rule out other potential issues, and offer more effective treatment options, which may include office procedures or surgery

Question

I've got this 12-inch soft skin lump hanging around the wrinkle part of my anus, and it's been there for over a year. It's flesh-colored and hasn't caused me any discomfort at all. I'm just wondering, will this lump eventually go away on its own, or is it likely to just stick around?
