How long does it take for the hemorrhoids to shrink back during normal delivery

Generally, hemorrhoids in normal delivery can shrink back in 2-4 weeks, but it also depends on the severity of the patient’s condition, measures taken and other aspects that need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids can prolapse during the process of delivery, due to excessive force during labor and delivery, frequent contractions, resulting in fetal head pressure and increased pelvic floor pressure, which generally lasts about 2-4 weeks after postpartum care. Postpartum patients need to wash the affected area mainly in the morning and evening, change their underwear in time, maintain anal hygiene and resume normal bowel habits as soon as possible. After delivery, avoid sitting and standing for a long time and strengthen the anal contraction movement to help promote local blood circulation. If the patient has heavy hemorrhoid symptoms, the recovery time may be extended accordingly, the specific time varies from person to person. Therefore, if you have hemorrhoids after giving birth, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for treatment in anorectal surgery, and you need to pay attention to avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods on a daily basis.
