Seymour Wells has suffered from hemorrhoids.He 
      understands the attitude of many sufferers who do not want to discuss this 
      affliction because they feel embarrassed or think that their friends might 
      think less of anyone who develops this actually very common 
      ailment.
      They 
      probably don’t realize that many of the people they know well either have 
      hemorrhoids or may have suffered themselves at some time in their 
      lives.
      Many 
      people don’t like to even discuss the ailment with their Doctor because of 
      embarrassment or fear of the treatment which they might have to 
      undergo.
      But,  Seymour says that a 
      full discussion with your medical advisor is the first and most important 
      step in minimizing the pain and other effects of hemorrhoids. It also is 
      the first step to recovery.
      He says 
      that we must ignore the myths and rumors about hemorrhoids and “secret” 
      hemorrhoid cures because there is currently no specific 
      cure.
      But, 
      many patients can look forward to a full recovery from hemorrhoids and the 
      prognosis is improving as new drugs and procedures are developed and 
      tested.
      
      Seymour has tried to give a broad 
      picture of the current state of hemorrhoid treatment and the best methods 
      of coping with their effects.
      He has also 
      included information about some natural methods but emphasizes that no-one 
      should self-medicate without first consulting their 
      Doctor.
