A member asked:
When hems bleed, do they shrink to a smaller size than they were before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: The only hemorrhoid that may shrink could be if there is bleeding from a firm painful thrombosed external hemorrhoid that could resolve after bleeding. Otherwise as long as the hemorroid vein is connected, it will continually refill again with blood.
