How long did they last?

Question

I know hemorrhoids are normal during pregnancy but how long did it take external hemorrhoids to go away? I've had them about 2 or 3 weeks now and they're not painful but still there. And what can I do to help heal them?

Answer

They don’t go away 😂 I still had some for months postpartum

Answer

They dont!

Answer

I have been using tucks witch hazel pads with raw coconut oil on them. It's helped a lot!

Answer

I had to have mine removed at 12mo PP. I will never do that again, the recovery from that surgery was worse than my csection. 
Use tucks wipes and don't push too hard when going #2 and the swelling will go down.

Answer

They will probably be there for the rest of pregnancy and after.

Answer

Well it’s been 8 years since I had my first. They’re still there and my second is due in 2 months 😂 they don’t go away.

Answer

They most likely won’t go away, and doctors usually won’t do surgery on them until you’re done having kids because you’ll just get them again.
