Hi,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I saw the picture.
It looks like a Thrombosed haemorrhoid.Dark colour indicates blood clot.
You should take high fiber diet, drink plenty of liquids, eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Your stool should be soft. Sitz bath has to be taken with the peri Anal area soaking in warm water with salt or povidone iodine solution. Please avoid Red meat.
If there is no response, you should consult your Surgeon, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Wish you good health.
Regards

My follow up question is how long does it usually take to heal? I'm going on my 6th day. Is that pretty normal? I am having blood on the toilet paper after wiping after a boule movement. Today was just several streaks of blood. Is that normal?
Thank you for the quick response the first time. I was worried it could be something serious! You helped with easing my mind.
Hi,
Blood in the stool is due to Haemorrhoids. It is not normal.
In case of Thrombosed haemorrhoid, it will take long time to heal with medicines. It may take 3 to 4 weeks.
In my opinion, you should consult your Surgeon, get examined clinically and proceed with Surgery. After surgery,it will be healed within 2 weeks.
You should follow the dietary measures already mentioned in previous reply.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
