Hemorrhoids usually go away within a few days.

How many days does it usually take for hemorrhoids to go down?

The time it takes for hemorrhoids to reduce swelling mainly depends on the preoperative or postoperative period. Preoperative edema is usually related to factors such as constipation and diarrhea. Simple edema can subside within 2 to 3 days. If accompanied by thrombosis, it may take a long time, usually accompanied by obvious pain. The final absorption of thrombosis varies from person to person, and the pain will be significantly relieved in about half a month. However, sometimes thrombosis will leave small lumps that cannot be completely absorbed. Postoperative edema is related to incision inflammation, poor venous lymphatic return, constipation, diarrhea, foreign body stimulation and other reasons. It usually takes about a month to fully recover.
