Is there another way to remove external hemorrhoids other than the painful surgery?

With advanced technology you would think there would be better ways to remove them ie laser surgery or banding like they do the internal ones. Has anyone heard of any new advances in the treatment of these literal "pains in the butt"?

Why are my bowel movements very inconsistent and spread out very few during the week?

A few more tidbits that will help this scenario. I have recently had a fistula and abcess that was removed from the outer part of my anus. The infection was caused by feces imbedded in my colon and resulted in a very painful surgery and recovery. I rarely make bowel movements *2-3 during a full week normally* and have gone up to 2 weeks without a movement at all. When I do have BM's, they are usually ribbon-like and cause discomfort, afterwhich I feel like I have not passed all of it and usually go to the bathroom multiple times during that day, although I make no progress after the initial movement. The fissure I am guessing, was caused from the 'aftermath' when I make BM's. When I feel like I have not evacuated completely, I sit, and unintentionally strain, *muscles react as if I were vomiting*. Honestly, my diet is atrosious. Fast food, Hot pockets, Pizza, things of that nature are my normal meals. Hope this helps.
