9 months ago I had surgery to remove hemorrhoids but now I'm noticing an external hemorrhoid growing again It doesn't hurt but the size keeps increasing My doctor prescribed Smuth cream but it's not helping Is there any way to shrink or get rid of hemorrhoids without another surgery

It's understandable that you're looking for options to manage recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, especially since your current treatment isn't working. While the Smuth cream might offer temporary relief, it's unlikely to shrink the hemorrhoid. Some options to consider without surgery include lifestyle changes, over-the-counter remedies, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
