How long does it take to recover using Ma Ying Long hemorrhoid ointment?

If the symptoms of hemorrhoids are severe, such as significant prolapse of the hemorrhoidal mass, severe edema, or accompanying infection, the recovery time after medication may be longer, usually around 5 to 7 days. More severe cases require additional time for swelling reduction and pain relief. If the patient does not improve lifestyle habits in a timely manner, such as prolonged sitting or straining during bowel movements, the effectiveness of the medication may be compromised, delaying symptom relief. In such cases, it is necessary to continue medication and enhance care.
