Came into L&D after bouts of diarrhea back to back, so bad, that it caused a ping pong ball sized hemorrhoid to come out of my butt. I couldn't walk. Shaking from the pain, couldn't sit down nore function. I called L&D so they told me to come in to take a look. I get here. And they were going to give me some stronger creme then Prep-H and then have me get the Prep with Lidocaine. The nurse checks me to look at it and was like "woah" let me get the doc. The doc comes in and she told me she wanst sure if it was a prolapse or a hemorrhoid. She gets General surg to come and finally decide what the heck was coming out of me, and he says it's a thrombosed hemorrhoid and that's why it's so swollen and causing so much pain. I either had to deal with the hemorrhoid with standard measurements or he could cut and drain the clot. I obviously chose to cut it bcs ain't no way this hanging around for days until it decided to calm down. I had so much anxiety bcs what if I had diarrhea again and it just stays around even longer. I got it cut and drained and now I'm waiting to be discharged....guys Hemorrhoids shouldn't exist. It was literally immobilizing and being almost 36wks dealing with such pain out of my butt. I'm legit rethinking holding out on epidural during my legit birth bcs I just couldn't do it. I'm gonna immediately get epi whenever I can 😞
