When will my hemorrhoids go away?

So I am 2 weeks pp and ended up getting some external hemorrhoids. They don't seem to be getting smaller and are bleeding now whenever I have to go number 2 (sorry tmi). I am starting to wonder how long it takes for them to usually go away and if I have to see my family doctor in order to get them taken care of. I would like them to be taken care of before I start being intimate with my boyfriend again.
