How long do hemorrhoids last?
I have internal hemorrhoids. They started from having a bad case of diahrea. For the first few days they were very painful and now they just itch very very badly. I have had them for a week and one day. I have tried sitz bath, vaseline, preperation H cream, ointment and suppositories and Tucks pads. Last night was the worse they have been, shouldnt they be getting better? I will not have insurance for about a month, so going to the Dr is not an option right now. How long does this usually last, I dont know how much longer I can stand it. The itching is horrible.
Has anyone actually used this Rue Care Oil? If so, does it actually work, I am kinda scared to use something that I have never heard of that you have to order off the internet, on my body.

Hemorrhoids don’t just go away. They can not make troubles for some time but at first irritation usually caused by food they can flare-up. I tried lots of things – including some you’re mentioning – only to get some temporary relief from pain. I got finally rid of it with Rue Care Oil. It takes a little bit longer for internal hemorrhoids to shrink than for external, but the itching etc. usually stops fast.
Unfortunately the short answer is, they’ll go away when they’re ready to go away…I have been there myself, many times (as I have IBS)…and the ONLY relief I was able to get was from A&D Ointment…found in the "baby" aisle…it is WONDERFUL stuff and I use it every time, and it takes the itch and burn completely away…you can manually rub some up inside if you need to…
If you haven’t tried it, try it. It’s the only thing that works for me.
