Time's very variable: One's doctor first has to examine it to see if it is a hemorrhoid or something else. Hemorrhoids can be internal or external, or a person can have both. That's why there are hemorrhoidal treatments in both the suppository and the ointment forms. A primary care doctor, general surgeon, colo-rectal surgeon, or proctologist can help treat or remove hemorrhoids if symptoms are more than just mild.
