A member asked:
I have a few questions on hemorrhoids: how long do they last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Hemorrhoids are veins that can become irritated with constipation or straining on the toilet. As long as the irritant affects the hemorrhoids is how long they may be symptomatic. Avoid constipation, drink plenty of liquids, eat more fiber ( fruits, vegetables, metamucil).
