Did you have hemmrhoids after giving birth?

Question

How long did they last? This sucks

Answer

I'm almost 3 weeks pp and have the WORST hemorrhoids. 😩 Mine isn't healed yet but I guess I just came on here to tell you you're not alone!

Answer

I had my daughter in 2012 and I still have them... 😩

Answer

Let’s just say I had my baby girl in September 2017 and I still take stool softeners daily. Hasn’t been the same since before giving birth. Hate it.

Answer

I used a steroid suppository made for hemorrhoids and it got rid of the hemorrhoids immediately. However I waited a week before I did this. This time around I’m doing the suppository immediately. Feeling like I was pooping razor blades was the worst feeling in the world!!

Answer

I’ve been managing for years since before pregnancy. Unfortunately they don’t go away. You can bring the swelling down. I’m 3 months pp with my 2nd kiddo and I was fine after birth but now having a flare up. I had to shovel some really heavy wet snow. And now I have a thrombosed hemorrhoid - it’s huge, purple ( there’s a blood clot in it) and really painful. Surgery for these suckers don’t guarantee that they won’t come back. I take a daily probiotic. Don’t strain too hard when going poo. I use a step stool to get in squatty position. Epsom salt and baking soda baths alternating with icing the area. Prescription meds. Tucks/ witch hazel pads. Also trying apple cider vinegar. And I use essential oils mixed with fractionated coconut oil. You are most definitely not alone.

Answer

Forever. They “heal” but can come back easily with the tiniest bit of straining. 😐

Answer

With my first pregnancy I was fine but with my second I had them like halfway through my pregnancy but it was only when I would go #2. It would happen every time and I think it was because I was super constipated during pregnancy 2. After I had her I had minor roids but they eventually went away. I’m thinking I only had them for like a month after we had her. But the hospital gave me witch hazel pads and a spray to use if they got too bad. They both helped a ton too.

Answer

Four weeks pp and mine are finally about 90% better, but I vaginally delivered a 10lb 1oz baby so expected some damage 😂

Answer

Mine are finally healed at 6 weeks.
