subject: Having Problems with Hemorrhoids-How Long Before it Disappears? by:Hannah S. Thompson [print this page] A very commonly asked question from people who suffer from hemorrhoids is, how long do hemorrhoids last? It actually depends per individual and what condition that person is in. If the hemorrhoid isn't aggravated as much, then it wouldn't last that long- give it 2-3 days to go away. If there is excessive bleeding and it's a bad condition however, it will certainly take a while. People have been known to suffer from anaemia due to the blood loss during bleeding from haemorrhoid. The number of times you've had hemorrhoids is the main factor on how long haemorrhoids last.
The number of times you've had hemorrhoids
If you've had hemorrhoids for 2-3 times already, that means they are most likely to occur frequently. It's very likely that this won't occur again if you are a virgin however. We all know why haemorrhoids occur, due to extra stress in the anal canal. Chances are good that you will develop haemorrhoids if you have anal sex. Other factors are pregnancy, obesity, etc. But coming back to the point, if you have had it once and are having it the second time then it will take a week maybe.
The time it takes to heal increases with the number of times you have it. After a point of time, you become a chronic sufferer of the illness. You will soon experience pain and treatment will become necessary. It will then take a long time for them to heal and you can ask yourself how long do hemorhhoids last because they won't go away in a flash. After you have had your first bout of the condition, it is wise to use a squatting toilet rather than a sitting one.
Although it isn't addressed much by the association for American surgeons, squatting toilets lessen the risk of contracting the illness compared to sitting toilets. The more you have the condition, it will take longer for you to become well. Since it will take quite some time for your hemorrhoids to get better, it would be wise to maintain a healthy diet with much fibre to prevent constipation and pass hard stools.
What type of haemorrhoid do you have?
The time it takes for you to heal depends on the type of hemorrhoid you've developed. This is a big factor in the question of how long hemorroids last. Hemorrhoids are usually of two types, the internal hemorrhoid and the external hemorrhoid. For instance, you're suffering from an internal hemorrhoid which has taken long to heal. In this instance, the duration of the hemorrhoid will be extended.
So if you're asking how long will the hemorrhoid last, for this hemorrhoid type, then at least two months is the answer. And if your external hemorrhoid has become blood-clotted and you're wondering how long do hemorrhoids last, the answer would be between three weeks and three months.
