If untreated : If untreated may not stop bleeding for long time , most of the time will settle uncouple of weeks , to stay on high fiber diet , fluids & local care , need to see doctor to make sure it is only hemorrhoids not missing some thing serious like a malignancy

Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are very common. They occur from a stasis of blood flow in the blood vessels that go to our lower intestines. As you get older you are less active and sit for longer periods of time. Do not sit on the toilet to read. Use a soft wet type of tissue for wiping. Over the counter medicated pads may help with inflammation. See doctor if worsens. Exercise and eat fiber.
