Holy hemorrhoids

I currently have the worst hemorrhoid ever. It’s so uncomfortable. I got a small one when I had my daughter. It never bothered me, and I didn’t get it until I went into labor and pushing her out made one appear. But I have had the worst constipation this time around and have what feels like a bolder in my ass. I asked my doc and he gave me some suppositories. But it doesn’t seem to help much. Anything else I can try to find some relief?

  • Have you tried ice or sitting in a warm bath? Aloe? I'm sorry, hope you get relief soon!

  • I just got one this week too!  First time in my life (that I’ve known of)….wtf!!  I haven’t even been constipated so I guess it’s all the pressure and extra weight.  I’ve been using Tucks wipes which help a little.  I’ve also been using my brand new Boppy as a donut cushion!  😂.  It’s nice to know I’m not the only one dealing with this!  Let me know how your Rx meds work!!
  • I found this to be the most effective: https://www.amazon.com/Preparation-Maximum-Strength-Hemmorhoidal-Cream-1-8/dp/B001V9OKIC
    Tucks didn't help me very much. Good luck. 
  • ugh mama, hemorrhoids are the worst. if it’s super painful, if it gets thrombosed, you can actually get it removed (takes 10 minutes + local numbing shot). my constipation has been awful with twin pregnancy and what we determined was eating too many tums + anti nausea meds. I take colace 100mg twice per day + magnesium supplement at night. my doctor told me to try benefiber in my morning drinks a few times a week as needed too. that has helped me more than I ever thought imaginable. good luck!!! 
  • I’m glad I’m not alone. I’m going to start miralax daily and I ordered some tucks pads. I do fear it may be big enough that removal may be the only answer but I assume I’ll have to wait till baby comes

    Don't be afraid to ask the OB nurse. Whose thing they can say is no. ❤🫂
