Hemorrhoids grade 1
I have had anal swelling for the past month. Initially it was mild but has increased over time. It started after a bike ride, followed by diarrhea and sudden swelling. A gastroenterologist prescribed IBIS tablets for my IBS and Anovate cream. Diarrhea stopped, but swelling increased. After that I went to proctologist who diagnosed grade 1 hemorrhoids and prescribed Anobliss cream, Benefex DS tablet 2 times a day and a stool softener at night. I am using these from last two days with sitz baths. Swelling reduces temporarily but returns after bowel movements. I have no pain or bleeding, only discomfort and heaviness in anal. Will this resolve permanently? Is surgery or sclerotherapy needed? Can I use ice packs after sitz baths for swelling? For reference I am attaching images here . . Sorry in advance for gross images.. Please suggest any treatment which will reduce this swelling to nill

Grade 1 hemorrhoids are highly treatable and often resolve with conservative, non-surgical methods.
Dietary Adjustments: Increasing fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) to prevent constipation and straining.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids.
Topical Treatments.
Hygiene: Using warm baths (sitz baths) to soothe the area.
Medical Procedures (if needed): If bleeding persists, non-surgical, in-office procedures like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or infrared coagulation may be recommended.

For grade 1 hemorroids, surgery is not needed. Continue sitz bath and medication. Continue ointment. Have atleast 2-3 litres of water and fiber rich food.
