I am 18 y/o male. Found one projection coming out of my anal opening three days ago. It is a hemorrhoid. I am taking Daflon 500 mg tablets twice a day (as consulted by my doctor). My constipation is gone now. But the size of the pile isn't shrinking. Will it go away if continue eating the tablets?

From your symptoms it seems that you had constipation / or straining in stools, which resulted in a small bleed in the skin region of anal opening (called thrombosed piles). Continue your medication for the period as advised (1- 2 weeks usually). Also take SITZ bath (that is sit in a tub of warm water) twice daily for 10 min each for about 2 -3 weeks Avoid constipation in future - you can take laxatives (ISabgol preferable for long periods) regularly for a period of 1 to 1.5 months. FOR THE PILE MASS TO SHRINK SHOULD REQUIRE A MINIMUL PERIOD OF 4 TO 6 WEEKS. So you do not need to worry, if you avoid constipation.
