Another PP recovery question--Hemrrhoids):

daisybaby09 · December 2009

Ok I am over 2 wks pp with a 4th degree tear. Today I find I have a Hemi. Self diagnosed but pretty obvious. Any suggestions for relief/cures? I am thinking I should call my OB. Just to be sure of how to relieve the hemorrhoid while not messing with my tear recovery? Just when I was starting to feel better.

I just read the when will you work out post. Hmm I can barely do every day chores yet? It is getting really old and frustrating I feel like I "should" be able to more then I can.........but I cant. Anyone feel the same? Anyone not able to work out for a month (I am thinking that would be best case scenario for me).

Sorry this turned into a vent/pity party. I guess I am more frustrated then I even realize. I hate relying on everyone to help me. DH has been great but he goes back to work this week):

Thanks

Sorry it turned so LONG!!!!!

My Dr. told me to use Tucks, and warm baths, etc. But really it just went away on it's own after torturous pain and 6 weeks.

Ugh 6 weeks!! Thank you though for your input. That is the same regimen for my recovery already. Good to know.

I'm still waiting for mine to disappear. It was there during my pregnancy though so who knows how long it will take.

my midwife recommended the vitamin Rutin 500mg with bioflavonoids. She also recommended the usual Tucks and eating more ruits and vegetables.

I feel your pain, not on the hemi but on the 4th degree tear. My mother had a 4th degree tear and it was my worst fear of delivery. Well it must my run in the family because I got one too. It sucked! I am now 15 pp and doing much better, my docter says the scar tissue is hard at first and then softens around 6 months. Hang in there, and don't feel bad about having people help you. I think as moms we try to do way too much on our own. Remember you JUST had a baby. Give yourself plenty of time.
