HemorrhoidsPro provides general health information about hemorrhoid symptoms, relief, treatment and prevention. It is written for adults in the United States. It is not medical advice. It does not replace a visit to a doctor.
Reading a page, using a tool, or emailing hello@hemorrhoidspro.com does not make the HemorrhoidsPro editorial team your doctors. We do not examine you, diagnose you or prescribe for you.
If you want the health pages themselves, start with what hemorrhoids are and how to get relief. This disclaimer is the limit on how to use them. See a clinician about any rectal bleeding. Get urgent care for heavy bleeding, black stools, fever or severe pain.
What has to be decided in person
A guide can report what studies found in groups of people. It cannot tell you the cause of your own bleeding, itching or lump. That takes a history and an exam by a clinician who can see you.
Hemorrhoid treatment compares home care, store-bought products, office procedures and surgery in general terms. When to see a doctor for hemorrhoids describes the symptoms that belong in a visit and what that visit is for. Your clinician decides which of those options fits you.
Symptoms that should not wait
The bleeding hemorrhoids guide explains which bleeding patterns fit hemorrhoids and which need a check. Other conditions cause rectal bleeding too. Do not use this site to decide that bleeding is safe to ignore.
If you think you are having an emergency, call 911 in the United States. Do not wait for an email reply.
Medicines, pregnancy and products
When a guide mentions a medicine, it is describing what a study or a guideline discussed, plus the usual limits that source mentions. Your dose and your time limit come from the label and from your clinician.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check any treatment with your obstetric provider before you use it. Hemorrhoids during pregnancy summarizes the options those pages discuss.
Some pages name creams, cushions, sitz baths and other items sold on Amazon. Amazon sells those products. HemorrhoidsPro does not. A mention on the best hemorrhoid products is not a promise that the item will fix your symptoms, and it is not an instruction to skip a doctor. How those lists are funded is in the affiliate disclosure.
Tools on this site
The hemorrhoid symptom checker and the fiber calculator run in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us. The result is general guidance from the answers you pick. It is not a diagnosis, and it is not an exam. The privacy policy explains the small amount of information the site handles.
Other websites
Links to studies, guidelines and government health pages leave HemorrhoidsPro. Those organizations publish their own information and their own privacy rules. We link them so you can read the source. Each of those sites controls its own pages.
If a page looks wrong
Email hello@hemorrhoidspro.com with the page address and the sentence. The contact page says what to include. The editorial policy explains how a correction is checked. Before you start or stop a medicine, look at the date on the page and talk with your clinician.
