Hemorrhoids?

Question

How long does it take them to go away? I’ve had swollen external hemorrhoids for weeks and nothing is making them go down or away at all.

Answer

Unfortunately they don’t just go away. A lot of people have them and don’t even know it. And surgery doesn’t always guarantee that they won’t come back. I have been managing since before having my kiddos. I take a daily probiotic. Drink plenty of water. Don’t strain too hard when going poo. Use a step stool to be in squatty position. Witch hazel/ tucks pads. Over the counter/ prescription cream. Essential oils. What brings down the irritation/itching and swelling the best for me is an epsom salt and baking soda sitz bath with lavender essential oil- and an ice cube wrapped in a wash cloth. Alternate sitting in the sitz and icing the area. Back and forth.

Answer

Mine never went fully away but the swelling of them didn’t go away till after I delivered. I hope that’s not the case for you

Answer

I had some in the 2nd trimester and within a few days of using the ointment they gave me, I couldn’t feel any sign of them and haven’t since! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I feel your pain. 
I am currently in a sitzbath because mine are flairing up. 
I had them before pregnancy, but not this bad.  
Lots of drinking liquids and applying cold compresses and creams are my plan. 
I hope I dont pop anything during pregnancy
