How long till hemorrhoid heals..?

Go use suppositories. It's better than ointment in an anal tube. It relaxes u better and less a mess. In a week u should be fine. Any store in the Towson area near u should work. Oh get the preparation H ones our something similar in ingredients.

40 days ? you are strong, I went to the Doctor the second day after I started having pains on my butt and she violeted me (I have never be in so much pain in my life and she put a figure up my butt)

she prescribed medication that would help and said that i should come back after 21 days

My hemorrhoids were awful as well. I could not sit for the longest time, and the pain was awful. I read somewhere that a hot sitz bath really helped. So I purchased a plastic sitz bath from the drug store, and filled it with hot water that was barely tolerable, and sat in it for 20 minutes a few times a day, and in a few weeks, my hemorrhoid was completely gone. Of course, I had an external hem, but I think it also works for the interior ones that prolapse. I suffered with hems for year and years, using all sorts of products, and the sitz bath is the only thing that worked. Give it time. It is no an overnight cure.

Thank you for your story... I found comfort in it.

I've always struggled with bowel movements my whole life, 3 years ago I almost died from losing so much blood from hemmis.

A year ago I went pescatarian which seemed to be a miracle! Easy BM, no hemmis... Until 4 days ago! I got an external hemmi that literally brang me to tears because it hurt so bad!

I've been trying to push it back in which helps temporarily - but holy hell does it hurt when I walk let alone try and touch it.

I've been using baby wipes and PepH. I will try the baths.

I wish I knew why they came back!!! I eat no meat, plenty of fiber and water!

I have been stressed at work and didn't get no sleep the morning the appeared, maybe that was at it took.

I want it gone but so scared of surgery, well the recovery part.

Anyways, thanks again for sharing your story!

take dafflon 1-0-0 and stryptovit-k 1-0-0 for a month u wil get alright

I have had a hemm before but this time it is 1 3/4 by 1/2 and does it hurt
The baths are helping me but no meds yet trying to avoid the doctor

I think Hemrid claims a 2-5 period. That is the quickest time frame I have seen. Good luck. Hemorrhoids stink!

Had small hemmerhoids on and off my whole life.  I am now 39.  A combination of weightlifting and careless wiping led to my worst hemmroids ever.  I had some internal ones--I could tell when I examined closely, and a small pea sized thrombosed one that popped (thankfully) and healed.  The last one I have is an oval one that runs into the opening of my butt and it will not budge in size--it's been 3 weeks!  I am starting to think I will have to live like this forever!  I will NEVER wipe carelessly again, my diet is full of fibre and I go too much (which led to the careless wiping--since I am a clean freak too).  The weights started it and the wiping finished it off now I have a pain grape like everyone else. . .main symptom is itching.  Honestly, I examine it like 10 times a day for the slightest hint of it getting smaller and nothing!  OMG!

omg. yikees i feel the same pain i hope its ok

I just noticed my first hemmerrhoid yesterday. I don't have pain, but it seems to be constipating me. I have been eating nothing but oatmeal, stew, fiber cereal and corn muffin since. I feel a little uncomfortable by the rectum and some stomach pressure but that's it. It isn't big I think. It just feels like a little bump right around the outside rim of the anus. I am not sure what to do to treat it and read many different things so I am confused. What should I do to get rid of it? Right now I try using the bathroom but am afraid. I use wet wipes after and rinse with hot water. Usually just mucus comes out which has been normal to me for years regardless of my high fiber diet. When I DO go I see a small amount of fresh red blood on the top. Is that normal? Help. Thanks.

I also suffered. Have doctors in family so got realy neat advice and tips. They asked me to follow conservative treatment method. I did all of the below and it got reduced in a week from grape size to almost nill.

1. I took half cup of aloevera juice before meals ( it helps in healing). Started eating bowl full of salads in breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kept raw papaya, cucumber, onions, tomato, baby spinach, bell pepper, carrot, reddish, brrocoli, lemon juice in salads. I also gulped down small pieces of garlic (1 to 2 mm thick slices) with water 2-3 times in a day. They say it helps shrink it fast. Included curd/ yoghurt in meals as it helps in digestion.

2. 30-40 minutes before going to bed drink 2 tea spoons psyllum husk mixed in lukewarm water or milk.

3. To cure fast your BMs should be easy and free flowing. No constipation and no application of force to push out night soil. First thing in morning drink 2 glass luke warm water (possibly with lemon juice) and walk around till you get feel for BMs. On toilet seat, to pass all night soil in one go, try to hold your thighs close to your chest and exhale out when passing stool.

4. After BM, to clean used bidet method/ washing, as wiping aggravates the pain and swelling. Sit is hot tub (sitz bath) as it helps reduce pain and keep area clean.  

5. To keep area clean washed with lukewarm water with suitable amount of some antiseptic liquid (Savlon, Dettol, Hydrogen Peroxide sol). One can also use wet cotton  balls to apply this antiseptic water solution. Keep area dry afterwards (use tissue to pad dry gently).  

6. Also to reduce swelling and pain try to use ice packs on the hemorrhoid 3-4 times a day for 10-15 minutes each time.

7. Stop smoking, stop all alcohalic beverages and all kinds of high protein non vegetarian food items (specially red meat). Animal protien results in longer digestion time and tend to cause constipation.

I did all this and felt a lot better with in few days. Hope this helps.  

I just broke my & have been eating only purree foods for the past week. 2 days ago I just got a hemmroid, 1st new by the way.

At least a week more wired & my pain is debilitating. Hard to walk, sit etc. So far I have Sits bath, vaseline & not doing anything.

I have epilepsy & worry about side effects. Anyone have a good word.

I am so glad to have found this post with some good advice, that I will have to look into. I'm only just 25 and that seems awfully early to start having these kinds of problems!Developed what I think is external hemorrhoid(s) after having terrible food poisoning and diarrhea a few days ago. I've had what I now realise are smaller ones on and off over the past few years, but thought nothing of it as they were mildly annoying and itchy but not painful.This time, it's really not very comfortable at all, and I have a fifteen hour flight tomorrow morning that I am absolutely dreading...

OMG! That is awful. Alright, I'm breathing normal now. I think for day 3 you should find yourself a bottle of HemRid, and quick. That stuff is made specifically for hemorrhoids. Especially if you are in that much pain. Good luck to you dear.

Hemrid is all natural and that should do the trick.
