Maybe TMI, but I need help

Ok ladies...

 

My hemroids are killing me.  I was sick over the last few days and like a relative that won't leave they are still here bothering me.  My Dr. hasn't called me back yet, so I thought I would ask you...

Can I use Preperation H?

 Sorry, I know this is gross

 

TIA

My safe list has it on there along with tucks. GL and don't worry not TMI when your pregnant!

I just checked my doctors website. Here is what it says.

HEMORRHOIDS:

Tucks - Use as a wipe following each bowel movement or as a compress applied to the area for up to 15 minutes.
Preparation H Ointment or Suppositories - Can be used 3-5 times per day, especially in the morning, at bedtime, and after each bowel movement.
Anusol - same as Preparation H
Warm baths are suggested 2-3 times daily - Also see suggestions for constipation

 

Hope that helps.

DH went to the pharmacy last night for me. I spent a painful hour in the bathroom and then begged him to go. He told the pharmacist I was preggers and she wouldn't let him leave with the Anusol Plus that numbs everything for you (apparently meds are ansorbed faster in that area and she was nervous about it, but I know pg women who have used it), so he got me the regular. If you can get the plus, get it. Pain in that area is quite difficult to deal with. Also, I have external as well as internal, so as bad as it sounds the internal applicator was a life saver. Another option for relief is to freeze a damp cloth flat in the freezer and apply for swelling. That hepled me last night

Hemmies suck. Hope you feel better soon.
