Hemorrhoids.  Believe it or not, all of us have them. Sometimes they became inflamed, painful, or uncomfortable. And when they do, it’s important to seek medical care, without delay.  Listen to this Important and frank conversation about an uncomfortable topic.  DocTalk host Mike Shuh talks with MedStar Health’s Colorectal Surgereon, Dr. David Stein, about the diagnosis and available treatment options for hemorrhoids.  As the Regional Chief of Surgery for MedStar Health, Dr. Stein, understands you may be uncomfortable consulting with us about a hemorrhoid that is bothering you. In fact, some patients have told us they delayed scheduling an appointment for a long time because they were too embarrassed to call. Hear Dr. Stein assure those who need guidance and treatment get it without delay, and without feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed.  Dr. Stein sees patients at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center and MedStar Harbor Hospital.
