10 weeks PP, and NOW I get hemmeroids?!

What did you do to treat, heal, prevent hemmeroids? I don't know why they came on all of a sudden, other than I wore a thong on Tuesday... I don't recall really ever having them before, and this time it's definitely uncomfortable to slightly painful. I have tried ibuprofen tonight, have been taking my stool softener again, and drinking lots of water. I just want to feel better (and walk normal!).

  • It sounds weird but I used Collinsonia root and it worked for me. Bought it at a vitamin store. I had them REALLY BAD in the few weeks pp. Like crying in pain bad. I read about this herb online and I swear, 2 days later they were much improved. It's worth a shot?

  • Thanks for the tip! I put some A&D on them too, and started reading up on high fiber foods. I don't like that my body springs these things on me!

  • I'm in the same boat as you -- fine during the whole pregnancy, then *BAM* hellooooo hemorrhoids!   Stool softeners, lots of water, fiber, Calendula ointment, & Tuck's medicated pads.  Hang in there!!

  • Put something to lube before you poop, Vaseline or coconut oil. It helps with the bleeding. Also diet is number 1 for me
  • I pushed out a massive colony of them during labor-didnt poo- but an impressive amount of roids. Tucks wipes between the cheeks, coconut oil before every bowel movement and I actually dulcolax until they were pretty healed and then still softener or fiber gummies. I was surprised after a couple weeks they were all pretty much gone. I still use the coconut oil though every time I go when I'm at home

  • I take align, a probiotic which helps keep me regular (tmi?) and in turn that helps with the hemorrhoids. I had them so bad after the delivery that the nurses couldn't stop talking about them. Gross. I got a prescription cream and use wet wipes after going to the bathroom. Also tucks help. Seriously hemorrhoids are the worst.
  • Thanks for this feedback! I'm thinking about seeing how they are by midweek next week, then maybe seeing the doc? They were slightly better today, but not all gone! Ugh.
