Hemorrhoids can affect your quality of life, as itchiness and bleeding are a great source of discomfort. Although you may feel embarrassed to discuss your condition, it’s important to get help since hemorrhoids can lead to other more serious conditions such as rectal bleeding, itching and pain, and anal fissures. A Primary Care Doctor can provide you with necessary information about what type of hemorrhoids you have and which treatment option is best for you.
