Can Hemorrhoids Bleed For Weeks?

I am often asked can hemorrhoids bleed for weeks and why?

The answer is simply Yes.

Hemorrhoids can bleed for weeks at a time.

However other ailments such as colon cancer, diverticulitis, crohn's disease, polyps in the colon or rectum, and ulcerative colitis can also bleed for many weeks.

It is therefore imperative that you are absolutely certain that you are suffering from hemorrhoids bleeding and not something else.

The reason that your hemorrhoids can carry on bleeding for weeks is that you put big pressure on them every time you evacuate on the toilet. This added pressure burst open the hemorrhoid and causes them to bleed.

The process is repeated every day or every time you evacuate.

Thus deteriorating the hemorrhoids further and further. They will also bleed more and more, longer and longer.

A good example for you to relate to what is happening with hemorrhoids that bleed for weeks, is like having an open wound which you rub vigorously(exerting pressure)on a daily basis.

You can now comprehend, that whatever antiseptic ointment you put on this wound, or whatever other treatments you do to this wound. It will be very hard for it to work, because of the daily irritation you are causing to this wound

This same theory applies to hemorrhoids.

That is why it is very important that you learn how to evacuate on the toilet, without adding any pressure whatsoever on the hemorrhoids.

When you start applying this evacuation process daily, your hemorrhoids will not only stop bleeding, but they will actually heal, and never return.
