A member asked:
How long will my hemorrhoid take to heal after rubber band ligation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on size number and exact location but in general you may have some initial rectal pressure for a few hours, some very mild discomfort for a few days, with perhaps some miminal bleeding, though. Many patients experience essential no symptoms especially for internal hemorrhoids further inside.
