I have had a hemmorhiod for 4 days (external). it has been bleeding quite a bit for 2 days. what should i do?

See your doctor: An acute hemorrhoidal crisis with pain/bleeding should be managed by a general surgeon promptly. Sometimes, these can be managed in the office, without a hospital visit. At home, try sitz baths with epson salts, 15 minutes each, tepid water, 6-8 times daily and after every bowel movement. In this case, however, a physical exam is indicated.
