Depends how bad ?: Procedure related hemorrhoidal problem usually will resolve in few days to a week . Eat high fibre diet , take stool softeners , and plenty of fluids with local care for faster relief . Speak to your doctor also.

Hemorrhoid: Hemorrhoids tend to be a recurrent issue. Some will thrombose and become hard but will gradually shrink. See your doctor if you are concerned.
