As far as natural home-remedies, my nurse suggested two options for me (after childbirth, I had hemmorrhoids)
1) witch hazel pads
2) sitz bath
To help with the itching, you can try OTC creams or ointments with hydrocortisone.
Another recommendation: use moist wipes instead of toilet paper.
There are many options between "doing nothing" and "surgery"! The Mayo Clinic has some great options for "minimally invasive" treatments, as the above suggestions are only for the symptoms you are experiencing, and will not get rid of the actual hemorrhoid.
