When none of that actually works, you start looking for other ways to fix it.
This guy talking about those HemoBalans magnets even claims on national TV that they’ll give you your money back if they don't work.
Look, it's obvious you don't always need surgery right away. But over time, things just get worse. Usually, people drag it out until they hit Stage 4, and then they're facing massive problems. That's why I keep saying surgery is really the only permanent, total solution. I remember reading an article by the surgeon who operated on me; he mentioned that women often develop them during pregnancy, and the doctor decides when to operate based on the exam. If it's not urgent, they usually wait until after the baby is born. As for those magnets? It's definitely nonsense. There is zero scientific basis for believing in that kind of thing. We know what hemorrhoids are, and magnets aren't going to do anything for them. People just get desperate and try anything. I was in that exact same spot myself. I even let someone talk me into seeing a "bioenergy healer." 🤦 Of course, it didn't work. I was in such a state of confusion and unbearable, agonizing pain that I ended up seeing a quack. Nothing helped. I actually had to laugh at myself—here I am, a man of science and engineering, sitting there with a bioenergy healer. These alternative methods are useless for acute conditions. Honestly, most alternatives are garbage because they lack any shred of science or logic. But again, I'll say it: when people are in despair and constant pain, and it feels like there's no hope, they reach for anything and everything... even things they know probably won't work.
