hemorrhoids

I got hemorrhoids when I was pregnant with my son and he is 16 months and they still haven't gone away. They seem to flare up and then are okay but have never fully gone away. I'm 27 weeks pregnant now and I'm just wondering if there is really any way for them to go away? I've had a nurse tell me I could have them for life. I guess I'm in denial lol. anyone have any remedies or advice?
