Question 1

how can i cure internal hemorroids?

Accepted Answer

No true cure: Once hemorrhoids are there, they never go away (unless you have surgery, which i don't recommend).  The trick is to keep them from becoming inflamed.  Don't get constipated.  Eat lots of fruits and veggies.  Whole grains are also good - fiber is the key. Drink lots of water.  Exercise is also good for keeping things moving. If they're flared up, suppositories with Hydrocortisone can be helpful.

Depends: When early/small, they stay inside and can't be felt by u. When they get big enough, they will come out with bowel movement and in the most severe case, can't be pushed back in.  They are usually purplish in color and one may feel soft mass. They can bleed and cause pain.

Question 8

how long does it take for an internal hemorrhoid to go away?

Accepted Answer

Depends on Diagnosis: We have 1 word for butt pain:  hemorrhoids!  real hems are varicose/enlarged blood vessels in anal canal=internal or skin=external.  They don't hurt unless they clot="thrombosed."  hems never go away -- they are an enlarged vein!  clots in them dissolve in 2-4 weeks.  Soak your butt in hot bath tub for relief, use advil, and keep stool soft with miralax (polyethylene glycol).  See a doc, tho to be sure right diagnosis!
