Postpartum hemorrhoids

Anyone dealing with postpartum hemorrhoids? I had them during pregnancy and for the first four weeks after they weren’t bothering me, But now all of a sudden they are excruciating and it hurts to even sit down 😔 which is not ideal when nursing 24/7. I use preparation H but they are still killing me. Would you go to your OB for this, regular doctor, or a specialist?

Oh man !! I guess I’ll just take the L and go to my doctor for treatment ! Because I know if it’s bad enough they’ll remove it for you 😭😭

I have been taking stool softener since I gave birth and it hand helped. I’m glad I pushed so hard to get that baby out 😭😭😭😭

6 weeks PP and seriously cry every time I have to go to the bathroom. OB just told me to use preparation h ... it doesn’t help! Just sitting down is awful I’m desperate for them to be gone so I’m doing everything I read online.. witch hazel, tree tea oil, Apple cider vinegar hopefully one of these makes them go away!

Same girl. I’m 10 weeks and still have them. They haven’t shrunk at all. Doctor had no advice except for preparation h. I hope they go away.

Have you tried Preparation H suppositories?Also, sit on a donut pillow, do sitz baths, take stool softeners, up your water & fiber intake. Mine were awful the first two weeks!
