Advice on managing Haemorrhoids

Hello all
Looking for some advice in managing internal/external piles
Background info
41 year old male, slightly overweight. I’ve been dealing with bleeding stage 3 piles now for about a 1.5 years. Never knew I had them till one day at a golf tournament I left the course and saw blood in be boxers. Thank god I had black pants on that day! From the point on, I would go a couple of days to a week with no blood in the toilet, some days would be worse ( dripping, stains in the bed) I got in last summer to see the doctor, he referred me for a scope, doc confirmed one external ( which never has caused me grief) and internal grade 3, it’s kinda of attached or close to the external where it will prolapse. Recommended surgery, I was afraid, and read all the horror stories here so I’ve delayed. I did have another episode on the golf course last year, during the middle of the round, thank goodness a restroom was right there. So know I’m paranoid on the course, and I can only assume surgery is a must. Well I’m going to put it off till October ( I don’t want to be layed up for the summer ) but has anyone got tips or a diet to manage it. It’s sad, but I’m so used to seeing blood in the toilet, blood clots on the toilet paper, it doesn’t phase me anymore. But I play a lot of golf, and tournaments with friends, but I’m freaking out every time I’m on the course. So anyone have some advice or tips, experienced this ?
Thanks in advane guys

I would aim for softer stools so you minimise the chance of aggravating the IH.
Either slowly increasing your fibre until you reach a desired stool level or using something like Fybogel will help in doing so. Drinking more water will help, too.
After passing a stool, try a stiz bath (where you simply sit in a warm bath for 5-10 minutes) to allow any opening to heal up. Constant wiping will cause more damage, so minimise the wiping (do you use wet wipes? They're good) and then bath them gently in a bath (if you have time).
As for the golf course scenario - try super thin absorption pads (I used them for a while after my op) and they will soak any blood leakage. Can you take wet wipes with you? They may help the clean up process if you pass a stool whilst out or if there is a leakage.

There are two following ointment/ treatment as under which is recommended by some individuals:
1. 7 days treatment (18 Tablets) called 'Hemovel' manufactured by Stragen Pharma of Switzerland.
2. Preparation H ointment.
Can I have the views of those who have been using above treatments indicating their results?
Thanking you
