A member asked:

How long do hemorrhoids typically last (after getting them during labour)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Variable: This is a common finding after delivery and resolution time is variable. They may remain and become symptomatic, leading to a decision for hemorrhoidectomy. There are prescription meds that contain topical steroids that can control these.
