With/without meds?: With medication about 7 to 10 days, without meds ?.... Sometimes, an external hemorrhoid remains as a asymptomatic "skin tag".

It will be OK: Most of the time hemorrhoids do not need surgery, can be controlled with diet, fluids , avoiding constipation, and local treatments . You need to see your doctor, any rectal bleeding is not a hemorrhoid till confirmed by a physcian, as tumors could be missed( rare in your age).

Usually 3-4 weeks : The thrombosed hemorrhoid has clotted blood in it which over time the body will break down and absorb it. The larger the thrombus( clot) the longer it takes. When it is resolved you should consider seeing a physician who could take care of this simply in the office setting by rubber banding technique or other simple office procedure . These are usually painless with very little down time.
