Answer

Mine have been waking me up at night- so painful! Dr gave me a prescription cream which had helped so far. Good luck!

Answer

Witch hazel and Tucks pads. Even an ice pack

Answer

I never had trouble with them until now at 34 weeks. Here's what I suggest:  Sit on the toilet for as little as possible.  Don't strain or force a bowel movement. Use Tucks pads after a BM. Lie on your side to try to relieve the pressure afterwards. Depending on the type of hemorrhoid, you can try gently tucking it back into your rectum. I try to do this during a warm shower. I hope that helps you! They're a major pain, and I'm sorry you have to deal with them.

Answer

I tried everything witch hazel, prep h wipes, cream salt bathes and nothing worked! Then I went to the doctor and he was able to shrink it since it literally swelled to the size of a golf ball (worst thing ever!!!). But he told me to get A&D; ointment and let me tell you!!!!! It was a life saver!!!!

Answer

Tucks pads, you can look up “padsicle” recipe (witch hazel and aloe on a pad - frozen), doctor can also prescribe a steroid if necessary. Mine got so bad that it hurt to walk and they would bleed 🤦🏻‍♀️
