How to treat an internal hemorrhoid?

I have an internal hemorrhoid Stage I. My proctologist insists that there is no treatment for that and only gave me a Dieting List and suggested light exercise. He also mentioned that since there is no blood in my stools yet there is no point in removing it surgically. He says that it can only be dealt with later on when the hemorrhoid is External. But I really wouldn’t want that to happen. So is there another treatment in order to prevent or even possibly cure the hemorrhoid? Doctors’ answers would be much appreciated and those who have similar diagnosis. Thank you.
No, I’m not overweght and never was. I’m hardly 140 Lbs.

Changing your diet to soften the stool and reduce straining, along with losing a little weight (if you’re overweight) can help the hemmorhoid symptoms pretty much resolve w/o further treatment in some cases. That’s probably why the doctor was stressing the diet/exercise angle.

So you might give that a try. There are a variety of other treatments for hemorrhoids but I think they’re generally reserved for more progressed / symptomatic cases.
