A member asked:
I noticed a single hemorrhoid today. i gave birth a week ago. its about the size of a grape. will it be this size forever?

Will get smaller: Not at all. As your physiology returns to baseline, it is expected to shrink significantly. Avoid getting constipated and it will return more quickly. Congratulations on the birth of your child.
