About two years ago, I developed my first known hemorrhoid condition. After adjusting my diet and adhering to other remedies the hemorrhoid disappeared. Everything has been relatively normal since then. However, about a week ago my hemorrhoid condition came back. This time the hemorrhoid is a bit more pronounced and it appears it has ruptured since there has been some moderate bleeding. I’ve done a bit of research online and it appears many take care of the problem with home remedies. I’m hoping to do so as well by using witch hazel and a number of other suggestions. I’m prepared to see a doctor, but prefer to handle this on my own. Here’s my questions:

1. On average, how long does it take before the bleeding stops?
2. What action has proven to be most effective to stop the bleeding?
3. Can I exercise while it’s in the bleeding condition or should I be resting as much as possible?
