How long do hemorrhoids(internal) take to heal?i had itching recently,and today had bits of blood on stool (already had colonoscopy).doesn't hurt much
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can take up to 2 wks: Most important, is prevention of these hemorrhoids. Often times it comes as a result of constipation, or not drinking enough liquids. If you're using any prescription like Proctofoam HC right now to bring relief, that will get you through this healing. However, the best advice is to do regular exercise like walking, eating a high-fiber diet, drinking enough liquids, and not holding your stool in, and pooping at least 2 to 3 times a day. This would help in your preventive efforts.
