Rarely does anyone talk openly about this problem, and even less often do people seek help in time. However, hemorrhoids are very common, more than half of adults face them at least once in their lifetime<\/p>\n
The problem that causes pain, itching and discomfort does not choose age, gender or profession, but what interests everyone who faces this condition is a simple question: how long do hemorrhoids last and when will this all finally pass?<\/p>\n
The answer, as with most health concerns, depends on several factors. The type of hemorrhoids, the stage at which they are located, the way of life and the approach to treatment – all these determine how long the symptoms will last. In some people, the symptoms disappear in a few days, while in others they return for months.<\/p>\n
Hemorrhoids, popularly known as hemorrhoids, are created when the veins in the lower part of the rectum and around the anus become enlarged and inflamed. Each of us has hemorrhoidal tissue in that area, it is a network of blood vessels, connective tissue and muscle fibers that participate in the normal functioning of the intestines. The problem arises when the hemorrhoidal tissue becomes excessively enlarged or inflamed.<\/p>\n
Imagine the pipes in an old house. As long as the water pressure is normal, everything works without a problem. But when pressure increases or pipes weaken, leaks and damage occur. The same happens with veins in the anal area, the increased pressure expands them, while the weakened tissue loses the ability to hold them in place.<\/p>\n
Internal hemorrhoids are located inside the rectum and are usually painless, but often cause bleeding during stool.<\/p>\n
External hemorrhoids appear under the skin around the anus and are accompanied by pain, itching and swelling.<\/p>\n
When a blood clot forms in the external hemorrhoid, the thrombosed hemorrhoid is created, which can be extremely painful, Telegrafi reports.<\/p>\n
The causes are different, but they all have a common denominator – pressure. Constipation is one of the most common causes. When stool stays in the bowel longer than necessary, straining during emptying increases the pressure on the veins. Repeated exertion day after day gradually weakens the venous tissue.<\/p>\n
Pregnancy is another frequent trigger. The more the baby grows, the more pressure it puts on the pelvis and lower body veins. Many women experience hemorrhoids for the first time right during pregnancy or after giving birth. Sitting for a long time, especially on hard surfaces, also creates unfavorable conditions, because all the pressure falls on the anal area.<\/p>\n
There are also factors that we have a harder time influencing:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Genetics: If your parents had thrush, the possibility of having it increases as well.
\n\u2022 Obesity and lack of physical activity.
\n\u2022 Poor fiber nutrition.
\n\u2022 Age: Hemorrhoidal tissue naturally weakens after the age of 50.<\/p>\n
Bleeding during stool is the most common sign. Light red blood is usually seen on toilet paper or in the toilet. It is accompanied by itching and discomfort, while the pain increases when sitting or going to the toilet.<\/p>\n
In internal hemorrhoids, there may be a feeling of incomplete emptying or prolapse \u2013 the exit of the tissue through the anal opening. External hemorrhoids are visible or feel like hard lumps around the anus. Sometimes mucus secretion also occurs, which further increases the irritation.<\/p>\n
The duration depends on the stage in which they are. Small and mild hemorrhoids can go away on their own after a few days, provided that straining is eliminated.<\/p>\n
\u2022 First stage: Recovery can be very fast with a change of diet.
\n\u2022 Thrombosed external hemorrhoids: It usually takes one to three weeks to completely recede.
\n\u2022 Chronic hemorrhoids (stage three and four): They require medical intervention and treatment may take significantly longer.<\/p>\n
One thing to keep in mind: even when they go away, there is no guarantee that they won’t come back. Maintaining healthy habits remains essential.<\/p>\n
Effective treatment begins with changing habits, while if necessary it is supplemented with pharmaceutical preparations:<\/p>\n
Nutrition: Increasing fiber intake (apples, pears, spinach, broccoli, whole grains) softens stool.
\nHydration: Adequate water intake prevents hard stools.
\nPhysical activity: Even walking for 30 minutes improves circulation.
\nHygiene: Warm sitz baths bring immediate relief from pain.
\nPreparations: Creams, ointments and suppositories containing chamomile, witch hazel or soothing herbs help relieve symptoms.
\nWhen conservative methods do not help, there are treatments such as sclerotherapy, rubber ring ligature or laser removal.<\/p>\n
In the most severe cases, surgical intervention is applied – hemorrhoidectomy.<\/p>\n
