Hemmroids ?

Question

Hello I wanted to see if anyone is having this issue if so what are you taking or using to help I have it really bad very painful and I work from home I did purchase a donut pillow so hopefully that make it easier for me any suggestions I do take warm showers since I don't have a bath tub

Answer

Oooooohhhh yes. I just laugh at this point because I feel like my butt has turned into a bushel of grapes. My group B strep swab is next week and I’m like.... okay yeah sure doc if you can find it... 
I pushed for six hours with my first and have had an issue with hemorrhoids ever since. Now these last few weeks during pregnancy they are constantly swollen and painful. Preparation helps a lot. I started putting it on twice a day and it helps with the pain/pressure. Take stool softeners as well because pushing bowl movement forces blood to the hemorrhoid causing it to swell and become inflamed/thrombosed. 
I have asked my doctor and really the only way to get rid of them for good is to get them banded off or surgically removed. Even then they can still come back. It’s just another perk of motherhood that no one talks about!! They are super common especially for mamas who have had vagina births. They are also how I know I won’t ever try to be in the single world ever again 😂😂 sorry hubby but this is all yours!! 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Heyyy yeah have had this issue and even before pregnancy from my ibs. A bath def helps but if you only have a shower, a sitz bath could work. I take Tylenol and use  hydrocortisone cream to the area. And the best thing I have noticed is to use the witch hazel tucks pads. Fold up and put on that area and leave there for a while... sounds silly but I swear it works.

Answer

Buy preparation H! Helps mine go down so quick and eases the pain.

Answer

I had that issue I used tucks pads it helped. But I only had a baby one. I would wear a pad and put a few of the tucks pads on my pad and wear them at home and change them every hour for a day and after that I never notice them again.

Answer

Suppositories worked the best for me because they were internal but were protruding out and were extremely painful. The suppositories shrunk them and preparation H soothed the pain.

Answer

Hemmroid wipes have been what gives me most relief. Preparation H medicated wipes are good. Tucks pads are good too but are smaller. Target has a store brand of them too that are okay.
