I've been dealing with thrombosed external hemorrhoids and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there effective home remedies to treat them when they're still at a normal stage? What can I do at home to help them heal faster?

To manage thrombosed external hemorrhoids without resorting to surgery, focus on pain relief and inflammation reduction through home remedies. These include applying ice packs, using topical creams or ointments, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Also, try gentle sitz baths and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and staying hydrated
