What doctor do you go to see for hemorrhoids?
Will general practice work? Or is it something specific?

I work for a GENERAL SURGEON and we see patients routinely for hemorrhoidal issues; whether they require surgery intervention or simply a prescription medicine treatment.
You can start with your regualr family doctor; especially if your insurance requires you to have a referral to see a "specialist". Otherwise you should be able to see a general surgeon at your leisure. Remember, though, that surgery is your last resort….you should try to treat things conservatively first. And, also a note: Not all issues related to the anus/rectum are always hemorrhoids…..there are other possibilities such as a rectal fissure, a rectal fistula…
But, only a trained specialist would be able to determine this upon examination. So go ahead and make an appointment, recetifying the situation may be easier than you think.
Gp first then may be to surgeon
Your GP or a Gastro Dr. You can get a colonoscopy done and see just how bad they are to decide on the treatment.
Good Luck!!
You need to see a proctologist. They are surgeons of rectal and colon. needs.
I would go to my general doctor first and see what he/she has to say, they will direct you in the right direction. If you can not afford a doctor see a pharmacist as they have over the counter medication and get more fiber in your diet as straining on a bowel movement causes severe pain.
General practice will help you or direct you to a proctologist. This process will cost you a lot of consulting money.
