In initial stages conservative treatments can be applied, but over a period when the hemorrhoids get worst, the disease should be treated by several non-operative treatments like, Sclerotherapy, rubber bend ligation, infrared photocoagulation, cryotherapy, bipolar diathermy, and direct-current electrotherapy.
