How long does it take for the swelling of hemorrhoids to go down after a normal delivery

Swollen hemorrhoids after a normal delivery will usually take about 1 to 2 weeks for the swelling to go down, but the exact time needs to be judged according to the postpartum care. When a woman gives birth, too much exertion may lead to increased abdominal pressure and acute perianal bruising, resulting in the phenomenon of swollen hemorrhoids, which can usually be recovered in about 1 to 2 weeks after delivery. Women who do not pay attention to personal hygiene when they have swollen hemorrhoids after a normal delivery may lead to infection, which may affect the recovery of the condition. Even consuming food that is too spicy and irritating may lead to further aggravation of hemorrhoids. When women have enlarged hemorrhoids after childbirth, it is recommended that they seek medical treatment in a timely manner and use potassium permanganate solution in sitz baths under the guidance of the doctor to promote local blood circulation, reduce inflammation and swelling, alleviate swelling, and help the condition to recover. When women have swollen hemorrhoids after giving birth, they should pay attention to a light diet, eat more food containing vitamins and protein, keep the bowel movement smooth, and follow the doctor’s instructions to give care for recovery.
