Hemorrhoids :(
They're horrible !!! First time I've had them in my life and it's awful.. Anyone else suffering with these or have any advice ?
Yup. Never had one till halfway through this pregnancy. Freaked me out a little at first. Did some googling and talked to my doctor, and now it's just part of life as a pregnant lady. ? Oh the things they never tell you. Or if they do tell you they should include all the gruesome details.
Thanks for the help ladies. I bought a sitz bath, some cotton balls and witch hazel and some preparation h.. Hoping it helps but they almost feel so bad I think there's a tear. I'm so sorry @MrsQuintana ! They are so horrible :(
Yes. They are awful. Have a hot Sitz bath with Epsom salts at least twice a day, use tucks pads or witch hazel, and I alternate prep h and Desitin 40% cream. You also need a fibre supplement, stool softener like colace and drink tons of water to keep everything moving. They are often caused by straining from being constipated. I have one right now that is brutal and didn't respond to home treatment so my doc gave me a steroid cream to use four times a day and try and shrink the sucker.
I feel your pain. Good luck ?
Just got over one. I got cotton balls and froze them and would put them in my butt and then I would soak apple cider vinager and put it on a cotton ball on the roid for about 30 min. You have to take a warm bath right after because it burns bad but it got rid of it fast.
