Hemorrhoids; How many days should I wait before seeing a doctor?

I started having symptoms on Sunday. I have been soaking and applying medication, however the swelling has NOT gone down. It’s not any bigger but it’s not getting smaller. Today makes 5 days that I have been suffering. I have to sit for long periods of time and then stand for long periods of time for my job. Is this causing it to last longer than the usual 2-3 days?

Sometimes it lasts that long, especially if you are still doing your job.
Here’s a link that might help you decide whether you need to see a dr. or not.

I wouldn’t worry about it until they start bleeding.
I would go in ASAP/IMMEDIATELY!!!
try taking Fiber supplements like Benefiber to soften your stool.
I had a dr tell me to soak them in a tub of warm water and epson salt.If it hurts to bad go on to the dr.I had one that hurt so bad and it was so big it had to be lanced right there in the office.It sounds bad but it felt better imediatly.
as long as you want to sit through the pain, i guess
Take a piece of garlic and using a knife cut a small plug and
insert it in your rectum. I know this may sound crazy but it
works.
