Question

How Long Do Hemorrhoids Last?

Answer 1

Less severe Hemorrhoids last 2 to 4 days but more severe Hemorrhoids could last for a few weeks.

If the Hemorrhoids last longer than a few weeks or seem to get worse then you should go to the doctor for treatment.

You can treat Hemorrhoids at home by applying some Witch Hazel to the Hemorrhoids or applying some Topical Hemorrhoid cream.

You can also help heal Hemorrhoids at home by soaking regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath and soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day.

That should clear up most hemorrhoids but if not you may have a more severe case of Hemorrhoids that needs a doctors treatment.

Answer 2

When I had Hemorrhoids I used Witch Hazel on the Hemorrhoids and it cleared the Hemorrhoids up within 7 days.

Witch Hazel is a wonderful product for Hemorrhoids and other skin conditions.

Answer 3

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins.

Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).

Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time.

Small hemorrhoids can go away on their own in a few days.

Larger hemorrhoids, particularly ones that cause a lot of pain, swelling, and itchiness, can't go away on their own and may require treatment from a doctor to heal.

Pregnant women may find that hemorrhoids only go away after they give birth.

Some ways you can get a hemorrhoid to go away include.

Eat high-fiber foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Use topical treatments. Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Take oral pain relievers.
