Healing time for hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids usually heal on their own after a few days, but can sometimes take 7 to 10 days to fully heal. It's important to avoid sitting on the toilet for too long after a bowel movement and to not strain too hard during bowel movements, as this can worsen the problem. Increasing fiber intake and staying hydrated can help prevent and alleviate symptoms. Topical treatments are available at pharmacies to help with the usual symptoms of this condition. It's recommended to consult with a pharmacist for personalized advice.
