Hello: 1.
The treatment for hemorrhoids in Taiwan can generally be divided into clinic-based and hospital-based colorectal surgery.
Most clinics primarily offer Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, with only a few well-known Western medicine clinics (one in Kaohsiung) available.
As I am a specialist in colorectal surgery, I strongly recommend seeking treatment from a colorectal surgeon.

Major hospitals in the Taichung area have colorectal surgery outpatient services and specialists available, so please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
