HELP! I haven't had a bm in a week & I just discovered a GIANT hemorrhoid. I can't walk or sit or even soak in the tub without crying from the pain. I have a BM stuck right inside that's making it even worse. The hemorrhoid is blocking anything from exiting. Is there anything I can do to get even a smidgen of immediate relief?
I'm definitely stocking up on juices & softeners tomorrow. My hubby had some ointment lying around so that'll have to do for tonight. @v_daloca that's EXACTLY what I said!
Your ob can give you a prescription for the hemorrhoid that will help a lot, and a stool softener should help for the rest.
I've had this problem too when I was around 20 weeks. I used a scoop of that powder laxative stuff in my drinks every morning it helps soften the stool
I always drink cranberry juice for everything but ya I have them too and honestly it hurts like all hell I feel like I'm giving birth out of my butt
Witch hazel is amazing. Put some on a cotton ball and pat your "area" with it for about a minute, it'll relieve your pain and it helps with swelling, do it about every 30 minutes
