Pregnancy.. Hemorroids?

Question

I am 36 weeks pregnant. I have a Internal Hemorroid that won't go away. I am using Preperation H Cream and Colace which aren't helping. I have sat on a bag of ice but that only helps until I have my next bowl movement. I took a warm shower that helped until I had my next bowl movement.. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel as if I cant carry my son anymore because of this Hemorroid, it hurts that bad lead alone burns. The doctor did say it's not because of constipation, it's because the baby is sitting really low. If you know of anything else that would help me, Please E-Mail me or leave comments. Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm sorry you are having this problem. Welcome to the sacrifices of Motherhood. Nothing helps a great deal. The best I know is to use a wet wipe after each movement and apply just about any ointment or Vaseline. It's just the cleaning and blocking action that will get you through until next time. It will get worse before it gets better, that is sometime after, when the baby is born. But I honestly found that prep H cream seemed to aggravate the situation.

Answer 2

Almost no remedies will help with internal hemorrhoids, most medications just sit on the outside (tucks pads, preperation H, etc).

Also if it has torn it will take a long time to heal. I would just continue with a stool softener, keep your stools soft... not diarhea but very soft. That will help allow it to heal. Also try using a belly support to hold your belly up, that my stop your baby from lying in the same position. You can just use a long strip of cloth. Or you can buy a "pregnancy cradle". If there is a midwifery group in your area you may be able to rent/borrow one as they tend to be a little pricey.

Also, and I know this sounds strange, just try laying in a quiet room and asking your baby to move.

However even if your baby moves, or when you give birth it will take a long time to heal. It will likely take at least a month to heal.

I am 31 weeks pregnant and just went through this 3 weeks ago. As embarassing as it is, you need to graphically tell your Dr. your exact symptoms. If they are really bad, the hemorroids may have thrombosed. If that is the case, then there is nothing that you can get over the counter that will bring you any relief. My doc sent me to a surgeon (just in the office) who was able to get me back on track within 2 hours.....and a week's worth of recovery.

Answer 4

I had the same problem, I kept making sure that I didn't get constipated and even though they tell you not to do it, I took a bath with epsom salt before I went to bed and sat on one of those rings. I know how terrible it feels, but after it is all said and done it will be a memory...but don't believe those who say you forget the pain...you don't!! Good luck and best wishes!

Answer 5

Definately see a kinfolk wellness care expert. I had a terrible hemorroid after my third being pregnant. My wellness care expert prescribed a prescription suppository with hydrocortisone. It worked large, and reduced in size the hemorroid. In my journey, stool softeners never worked for me. And all those over-the-counter creams, drugs do not artwork in any respect. one difficulty that facilitates alot is fiber drink like metamucil.

Answer 6

Sit on a donut shaped cushion. Are you drinking enough?
Vrigin Coconut oil can be soothing and it is natural.
I cook with it in everything tastes good too.

Answer 7

The only thing that'll really help you is birth of the baby. Just hang in there.

Answer 8

try just sticking a tucks pad in between the cheeks.

Answer 9

Tell your Dr. that you cannot stand the pain..
You want it removed...
It is not a big deal...
He just isn't taking you seriously...
