“Will surgery treat hemorrhoids?”
I have hemorrhoids, and I tried treating them with over-the-counter medication. But it's not helping at all. Would I need surgery?

Lots of times patient have ano-rectal discomfort and attribute it to hemorrhoidal disease, when it may be something other than a hemorrhoid. It would be prudent to see your physician for a complete history and physical to ensure the diagnosis and prescribed treatment. Hemorrhoids can be treated in a variety of ways and may not require surgery.
You need an evaluation by a colon and rectal surgeon to determine treatment.
