I agree with what you say here remembering of course hemorrhoids is no life threatening condition.I think one should also take into account hemorrhoids is for most people embarrassing and going to your family doctor is often the last thing people do and prefer to get something to heal themselves with from over the counter.I’m not going to argue if that is right or wrong thing to do thats just my experience.
