I know it sounds gross, but if you can get it back in (it might take several times), it might actually resolve by itself. Use a plastic or latex glove with lubricant like KY jelly. Once the inflamed vessel is back inside the rectum, you can use Anusol suppositories to help reduce the inflammation. If you are still having trouble in a week or so, you will probably want to see a doctor and have it treated. If you go that route, your physician might chose to ligate (surgically pinch it off), inject it with steriods, or remove it by electrosurgery. The recovery time is pretty short if there is only one hemorrhoid and it isn't very large. First try pushing the hemorrhoid back into the rectum.

But to help it along be sure to keep the area really clean. Go to the store and buy some unscented baby wipes. After using tissue clean yourself with the baby wipes as well. Since I have started using them I have the hemorrhoid less often. I suffer from external ones and know how painful they can be. While at the store pick up some preparation H also, or same type of product. Name brand does not matter. use it to help shrink the hemorrhoid and calm the burning itchy feeling.
