Dr. Brand:
It’s typically a constant pain that lasts somewhere in the neighborhood of three to five days, along with the swelling, and then swelling and discomfort will start to dissipate if the hemorrhoid in the skin over it ruptures, then the clot will come out. The swelling and pain will decrease more quickly. If the body has to dissolve the blood clot, then that may take a longer period of time.
