i have been having problems with hemorrhoids for over two years now. they are in my family as well. most recently they have been bleeding more than usual. there has been blood in the bowl and on the toilet paper. i called my doctor and over the phone he prescribed me a cream for it and only when i get hemorrhoids i use it. but just the other day i bled a lot and i was wondering what i can do. i have an immense fear of doctors but i do not know what to do. any suggestions? :-(
