Im pregnant and i think i have hemorrhoids?
Hi all,
Im 22 weeks pregnant and i think i have what is called Hemorrhoids.
Its rather sore when i go to the toilet and i have noticed a little bit of blood. Its a bit itchy at times and it feels like a boil or something at the entrance to my bum.
Sorry about all the detail.
Do you think this is hemorrhoids? If so, does it normally last all through pregnancy and is there anything i can do to try and clear it up.
Thanks

It definitely sounds like it. They usually last throughout the pregnancy and, I’m sorry to say, will probably get worse as your baby exerts more pressure on your pelvis.
Over the counter medications such as Preparation H are deemed safe for pregnant women. You could also try a warm Epsom salt bath to help alleviate the pain.
Good luck!

Sounds like em.
They may or may not last your whole pregnancy.
Get some tucks and wipe around that area and you can also get some hemmorhoid cream and dab it on there to help bring down the swelling.
Make sure you do not strain to poo. That aggravates them.
Also, some stool softeners (NOT laxatives) will help too.

You just said basically every symptom of hemorrhoids. Definitely go to the doctor, they might clear up on their own and they might not. If you don’t do anything about them then they will last.
I saw this on the doctors but after you are on the toilet, seated, put your legs up in the air like doing a leg lift but keep them steady. This is supposed to ease the pressure to prevent, and help soothe them.

Yup but it’s normal during pregnancy. I think there’s a cream you can get to help relive it.

1. Start taking stool softener. It is sold at any pharmacy, generic works just as well. This will help with pain when passing stool.
2. Go get baby wipes to wipe your bottom after you poop.
3. Talk to your Doctor before taking anything like Preparation H or other medications. Stool softener is fine.
Sorry, but yes, it is a side affect from Pregnancy. Good luck sweetie and I hope you feel better soon.

yes that is definitely a Hemorrhoid, you can use preparation H, it will take all the pain and itchiness away. But sorry to say now that you have one, it will never go away. Most of the time you wont feel it, unless you become very constipated and then it will inflame the hemorrhoid. When it gets inflamed that’s when it hurts and itches. so just keep some prep H on it and you shouldn’t have a problem. you can get them removed, but that’s something you have to decided.

They Will Probably ( Sorry ! ) Get Worse As The Baby Get’s Bigger.

See the gp or midwife and get some anusol prescribed. Its very common in pregnancy.

Eat anything that helps you not to get constipated, grapes, oranges, prunes etc (not bananas).xx
