Brief Answer:
It can last for days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

The bleeding from haemorrhoids can last for days.
If you are having a flare up and haemorrhoids are irritated and swollen this can't be resolved in one day but may last for several days. Use haemorrhoids ointment found in pharmacy over the counter.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Mine really bleed a lot. Why do they bleed so much? Have been bleeding with every BM the last couple days.

Brief Answer:
Visit a proctologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
The bleeding is common since they are enlarged veins which can bleed.
Better visit a proctologist in order to check you if you need more treatment then a lidocaine ointment. If it doesn't seem to get better go to ER.
The doctor may tie them to stop bleeding.

I have been using hydrocortisone 25 mg suppositories At night for several months. My doctor wants to switch me to the Rectal rocket which is another type of suppository with two different medication%E2%80%99s. However I have read that I should wean off the hydrocortisone suppositories, and not just stop using them. my doctor has said that I don%E2%80%99t have to wean off the hydrocortisone suppositories even though I have read that you should wean off of them if you%E2%80%99ve been on them for a long time. Can you give me any advice on this? What are your thoughts?

Brief Answer:
You can use rockets

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I think you can continue using rectal rockets.
There is no need to withdraw from hydrocortisone first since they contain hydrocortisone.
If there is no improvement you need to visit a proctologist to use surgical ligation.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
