How long does it take for Hemorrhoids to go away?
Category: Haemorrhoids & Blood Loss
“Mild cases can be treated with warm baths, stool softeners and fiber supplements.”
I have a mild case as said by my doctor. However, the cream he gave me isn’t really working so, on average, how long would it take for hemorrhoids to go away if I use a stool softener?

It usually takes one week to go away, if you use stool softener. But there is a chance to come back. So, you should be careful about it.
You should drink more water and follow a healthy diet.

Stool solfteners do not remove hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids develop due to too much pressure put on the veins in the rectal area. Veins become swollen and inflamed. Stool softener may help to get the bowel passing easier without pain. You still need a treatment that deals with inflamed veins and shrinks the hemorrhoids. It is also important to understandwhat is causing your hemorrhoids – constipation (in this case stool softeners are helping to deal with it), overweight, acid alkaline imbalance, sitting or standing for longer time, pregnancy, Vitamin B6 deficiency, or as a result of other diseases and conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome and fatigue liver. A great natural treatment for hemorrhoids is Rue Care Oil – it shrinks the hemorrhoids, stops bleeding (if any) and stregthens the veins, thus prevent hemorrhoids from returning.
