There are two kinds -- external and internal. One is reportedly easy to remove -- I think the external kind. The other kind not as easy and can be painful, from what I'm told.
Hopefully the OTC treatments are helping...

My PCP would not do anything about them! Said they were not serious enough. A call to USCF Olympic training camp and a chat with MD there got me a referral to a surgeon at Mass General, who, after I sighed heavily about how painful they become, especially after a long road race, He agreed to surgery. The procedure was called a "partial internal sphincterotomy!" No problems after that!
Good luck!
