Hemorrhoids??? Sorry if TMI

EdandMia

I need some help, I have pretty much had hemorrhoids my whole life but never this bad.  They usually go away, kinda on their own.  However I have the worst hemorrhoids of my life and they are not going away.  Does anyone know how to get rid of them???  I have used Preperation H, taken hot epsom salt baths, used witch hazel, and used vicks vapor rub.  Some of these things help relieve them but nothing is making them go away. 

Any help is appreciated.

I just got my first hemorrhoid ever from pregnancy. I have been using witch hazel and preparation h. Nothing has helped them either and I have had them for 2 wks. Uhhh I wish they would just go away.

I had never had one till pregnancy-- I have a small little one that I used Tucks cream on. It helped with the discomfort but it is still there. My doctor said it probably wouldn't go away till after I have the baby but as long as it isn't bleeding it is fine.

They are uncomfortable though-- so sorry you are having such an issue with them.

Have you tried pressing on them gentely and trying to help ease them back in?!  I get rally huge ones that feel like a tennis ball in my arse, so my dr. sad to try to push on them a little in the shower or bath to see if you can get them to go down and in a little bit.  They do suck, but they do go away once baby is out!

Call your doc. They can give you a rx.

 

This. I complained to my doc and she gave me an rx that was a lifesaver. Helped to shrink them and helped with the uncomfortable-ness.

I am going through this too, and it sucks.  I've never had them this bad - hurts to lie down, to walk to sit, to get up from sitting, to go to the bathroom...

Couple of things I've learned.  You may have a clot, which is more painful and won't go away on its own.  You'll need to have it lanced and the clots removed.  If you don't have clots, they can give you cream which is supposed to numb it (I don't think it works personally, the Preperation H works better for me).  Otherwise they've just told me "pain management", which unfortunately is pretty much Tylenol while we are pregnant, but they do have some stronger options.

I hope you have better luck than me, I've been absolutely miserable.

After reading the other posts I am definitely going to say something on my next visit and hope for a rx.  If I dont say something now......they are going to be in full sight when giving labor, so whats the diff.  They are so miserable any relief is worth my shame.

Wish I could offer help. I've been using Prep H, but they're still pretty bad. I think I may just have them until after the birth at this point.
