Sorry, I have to ask, I got one which was doing fine until I pooed last night and suddenly it's so angry. It's itchy and sore and very uncomfortable. WTF.
i've had them a long time. pregnancy and giving birth twice has definitely made them worse. i use a heating pad when they are bad, even going so far as turning on my heated seats in the car in the summer to help. also, i use neosporin on them instead of the hemorrhoid cream, it seems to work better for me. i also read that when you go to the bathroom, don't put all of your weight on the seat and sit on one cheek only to try to reduce the amount of stretching/stress. sorry for that description!
Re: Hemorrhoids Check-in (TMI)
Ive had them since ds#1 was born (4.5 years). They are usually ok until I have a hard poop and then its a whole different story.
