This situation mainly depends on how much the internal hemorrhoids have prolapsed and the severity of the prolapse.

If the internal hemorrhoids can be pushed back in after prolapsing, it generally takes half an hour to an hour to reposition them. However, if the patient overexerts themselves or strains during coughing or defecation, the internal hemorrhoids may prolapse again.

For patients whose internal hemorrhoids repeatedly prolapse, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Because repeated prolapse of internal hemorrhoids can lead to further pathological hypertrophy and descent of the anal cushion, in such cases of organic lesions, simple repositioning cannot solve the problem. It may even cause the prolapse to become larger over time and lead to complications like incarcerated edema, resulting in local thrombosis, swelling, and anal pain. Therefore, for patients with repeated prolapse, it is recommended to visit the hospital's colorectal surgery department for surgical treatment as soon as possible, such as internal hemorrhoid ligation, TST, and other surgical methods.
