Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if hemorrhoid symptoms do not improve with home treatment. You should also be seen by your doctor if you have rectal bleeding. Your doctor may want to check for other, more serious causes of the bleeding, especially if you have never bled from hemorrhoids before.

Call 911 if blood loss is significant or if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint.
