Depends: Is it bleeding profusely or just a bit leaky? If the latter, it will stop on its own. You may try putting a pad, like a female pad, on it and sit on it to apply pressure to facilitate formation of a new clot. If it persists in bleeding for more than a week, it would be prudent to see a doctor.

A member asked:

Is there any effective way to treat a bleeding internal hemorrhoid if it can't be banded due to its location and a prior surgery? What would happen if I leave it untreated and let it pass small blood clots everyday. Can it eventually heal on its own?
