Whether or not hemorrhoids heal on their own varies from person to person, depending on the severity of the condition, and it is impossible to determine exactly when some patients can heal on their own, while others need to be treated in a hospital. Hemorrhoids are classified as mild, moderate, or severe. If the hemorrhoid is mild, it can resolve on its own in 1-2 weeks. In case of moderate hemorrhoids, they usually do not heal on their own and patients need to be treated with topical treatments such as topical creams, which usually take 3-4 weeks to gradually recover. In the case of severe hemorrhoids, patients need to go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner, which cannot heal on its own. Surgical treatment options for hemorrhoids include external debridement and internal ligation and TST surgery. Patients need anywhere from 2-4 weeks to recover after surgery. In addition, in daily life, patients with hemorrhoids need to pay attention to perianal hygiene, change their underwear regularly, develop good bowel habits, control the duration of each bowel movement in about 5 minutes, and clean the anus in time after defecation.
