Hemroids and Alot of Pain ?
help wat do i do i am 16 weeks and 2 days preggoo today yayy lolz but the pain i have after i use the bathroom hurts soo bad!!! anybody please give me some advice or do i have to deal with this for the rest of my pregnancy:(
You can try tucks pads, although they didn’t help me one bit. Preparation H might work, I’ve never tried that. But I’ll tell you what helped me, and it probably sounds nasty, but it might help you too. I just opened my rear end in the shower, let hot water run on my roids, washed thoroughly with DIAL soap (I don’t usually use dial, but that’s the only soap that did it), and then rinse with more hot water. It takes the pain away and makes them heal faster. Trust me, that’s the only relief I got.
You’ll also want a stool softener, you can ask your doctor to prescribe you a stool softener (like Docusate Sodium), or you can take over-the-counter softeners.
Edit: DO NOT LISTEN TO TASHA. Hemorrhoids are VERY common in pregnancies.

Are you having to "strain" in order to go?
If so increase your fluids and fiber intake, and add Colace to help soften.
This should help with those nasty hemrrhoids, you can also get Tucks Wipes, use after every BM.

Tucks pads are good – there is also a spray pain reliever – you could try that.

when ur pregnant ur constipated. so while ur havin BM if u strain or push to hard its possible to develop hemroids. u need to increase u fiber and fluid intake it should help ease the BM. u should also use tucks and a stool softener.

Been there! I got hemherroids at aroudn 5 months in my first pregnancy.
1) drink tons of water and juice
2) eat extra fiber or add metameucil to your juice in the morning
3) everytime you go, wipe with a cotton pad soaked in witch hazel. It’s like the Tucks medicated pads except it works even better! Trust me, I’ve been there.
Good luck

oh they do hurt. although i didnt get them until after i had my baby, bc of all that pushing, i know how you feel.
I used TUCKS wipes and prep H and a stool softner. and i washed frequently. and i only went to do number 2 when I knew i could do so with minimal pushing. it is the pushing that hurts, and trust me when you hold off on your BMs long enough and you will KNOW when you cannot wait anymore. lol. also hemmroids can flare up bc of stress, so try and take it easy. also add fiber to your diet, it will make it easier to go.
hope this helps.

Use some kind of stool softener for a few days, try hot water sitz baths, Anusol suppositories as directed.then once you feel back to normal, try eating raisins or prunes every other day.

Taking a warm bath or putting a warm wet washcloth on that area helps me. It may help you also. Talk to your doctor about it because my doctor prescribed me something that works well but it isn’t a regular hemorrhoid cream like preparation H. Also, try eating more fruits and berries.
