Can internal hemorrhoids heal by themselves?
The vast majority of internal hemorrhoid bleeding is not self-healing. Only a small amount of mucosal bleeding or if the patient actively takes care of themselves after bleeding, there might be a tendency to self-heal. Internal hemorrhoid bleeding is mainly caused by excessive local congestion pressure or hard stools piercing the local mucosal skin, leading to bleeding, generally related to poor dietary habits and defecation habits of the patient. Therefore, to achieve self-healing from internal hemorrhoid bleeding, the patient firstly needs to adjust their diet and defecation habits to avoid repeated occurrences of bleeding during bowel movements. If the bleeding is significant or lasts for a long time and cannot heal on its own, it is recommended that the patient seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid long-term internal hemorrhoid bleeding which could lead to anemia.
