Hemorrhoid tips please...

[missteepog]

I'm 30 weeks and starting to get the dreaded hemorrhoids... Would like to nip them in the bud (so to speak) - does anyone have any tips on the best way to deal with them? Thanks!

I got haemorrhoids post delivery and they aren't half painful. I was told that mine were low grade and internal so just wait and c if they improve on their own but if it gets unbearable, use anusol. It's available over the counter or even in asda medicines aisle although it might be worth getting a prescription for it as it would be free during ur pregnancy. Hope u feel better soon as they really aren't nice xx

Have u been to your GP?? I'd think that keeping yourself really hydrated n eating a high fibre diet so your stools are as soft as possible would help too so you don't have to strain when going to the loo

Warm baths with salt really helps. .. and see ur gp they can prescribe stronger cream that numbs the area and suppositories. ... amd make sure u stock up for post delv x

And crushed ice in a bag wrapped with tissue paper, sounds yucky but does help. My gp advised this when I had them. For no longer than 20 mins in an hour. Gives another meaning to freezing your butt off! Sorry, could resist the quip.
