Hemmies, What's "Normal"?

Mother of pearl hemorrhoids blow! I started Colace on Sunday to help, but have issues. What sucks even more is that I had a C Section so these are clearly caused by constipation and efforts after birth. I have Happy Mama Bottom spray that I currently use, but it's time for a trip to CVS for reinforcements.

Any Rhoid Rage pros have tips to healing or making things more bearable?

    Try miralax but if you haven't gone in awhile definitely a fleet enema asap. I ended up in emergency room and had severe rectal bleeding. Colace and miralax and lots of water

    Are they internal or external?
    Witch hazel pads and dibucaine ointment!

    Colace did nothing for me, but I second the Miralax...I had the same post c section issues this time around, and it SUCKS!

    Ok, sorry if TMI, but I "go" about every two days. Should I be "going" more than that?

    I may need to go the suppository route as I think they're internal. I have sitt bath herbs balls so maybe I'll try those.

    No advice but I'm sorry! Costco has a big box of Tucks pads :(

    I am sorry to say that i can completely relate! Since my labour (2 hours of pushing and an emergency c section), my digestion and "going" has not been the same, and I have been plagued by mostly internal hemroids.

    The only relief i got was from constant use of suppositories (the brand here in canada is called Anusol- has differebt active ingredients than prep H). Took a few days of continuous use to go with no pain, but pain was reduced after first use. Tucks pads or witch hazel helped right after going as well.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery!

    I have huge constipation problems while bfing. :(. I think my body gets really good at absorbing every possible nutrient from my food, and leaves me with bunny turds.

    My midwife recommended Senokot with Colace, so you get a laxative and a stool softener.  I would definitely talk to your doctor, though.  Sounds rough.

    I get 30-odd grams of fibre every day (25g is the recommendation), and I'm still only going every 3 days or so, and still having trouble with hems. :/
