What you really need is to get yourself to the doctor about this. You should be healed from your c-section by this time and should not be bleeding. Don't wait around any longer. Get to your doctor as soon as possible.

Go see your OBGYN- they have experience with this and does happen sometimes after having a baby. You have let it go too far-you need to make an appt and fast. You can try using Tucs pads available at any Wal-mart/drugstore until you can get in but you need to be seen. It is not necessarily a hemorrhoid. It could be something like a rectocele or a cyst inside the rectum that is causing the pain and it is not good to have bleeding with your BM's. Your OBGYN can give you some prescriptions to try if it is a hemorrhoid or get you a referral to a colon/rectal doc if necessary. Do not mess around with this especially with a 3 month old infant. Take care of yourself so that you can take care of her. Good Luck!

I see your doctor for a better diagnosis. I take the supplements, eat plenty of fiber and drink lots of water! You have to learn to relax. You are making it worse getting all keyed up. Try to go the same time of day even if you sit there awhile and relax. My son also has the problem and brings a magazine to read. Preparation H (or equivalent)does wonders if you use faithfully. Your Doctor can probably give you better suggestions or see if you need surgery for the hemorrhoids if really bad.

If you dont want to talk to your doctor i would suggest using a suppository, it will help with the hemmroids and make things a little smoother coming out and give you a chance to heal a little, have you tried eating total or bran flakes that always worked for me. Ive had 5 kids and i know what your going through GOOD LUCK

have you consulted your OB-Gyne about it?
i guess, she needs to know whats happening with you since after you gave birth to your daughter this all started, having some fiber supplements can be very helpful, but i would suggest if you take a lot of fruits and vegetables. with fruits, minimize eating bananas, apples, pears, guavas but rather take watery fruits like oranges, watermelons, longgan. you should also drink a lot of water and juices instead of hot drinks. a tea can be halpful too. for a snack, you may take raisins and prunes instead of burgers or any typical snack that we know. don't eat salty foods. all these things are high in fiber and yet low in calories.
just don't push it if you think it would be very hard for you to take THAT off, you just have to fill-in first all the water in your body, though there are some medicines that you can take, but you might need some presciption for that,so the best thing that you can do is consult your OB-Gyne asap.

Again, see the doctor! And don't take dulcolax, it's likely to make bowel movements more painful.

Every time you have a bowel movement, try wiping with toilet paper and witch hazel or buy Tucks.

If you have hemorrhoids, probably not without some kind of medical intervention. I would see a doctor if I were you.

Go get your poop chute checked out by a doctor. I did and he helped me! My brain works now!
