2nd Trimester

Question (TMI)

At what point is a hemorrhoid a serious concern?

I've had hemorrhoids before pregnancy and they have bothered me throughout but generlly responded to treatment. For the last few days, I've had a large protuding hemorrhoid that is very painful. sore, itchy, etc. I've used the Prep H wipes and Prep H extra strength cream for 3 days now and while there is temporary relief for an hour or so, there has been no improvement in the actual hemorroid. Now I'm getting concerned.

Plus trying to have a bowel movement is EXCRUCIATING right now.

  • I get hemmorhoids too and I know how uncomfortable they are.  I would definitely call you doctor. He/she can probably suggest something stronger to give you relief.

  • i've heard that a sitz bath can help. not sure if i'm spelling it right. it's like a seat/bowl thing that sits on top of your toilet seat and you basically soak your bottom in it with epsom salts i think?! sounds fun doesn't it? but i've heard it can help relieve them! i think you can buy one at any pharmacy like walgreens or CVS. good luck!
