That's how mine started. I've been dealing with pain for about a month now at least. Try prep h and sitz bath if you have the time.
I tried sitz bath once and unfortunately never had the time to do it again.

That definitely sounds like hemroids! Wet wipes when wiping really help
have they gone away? It doesn’t usually hurt afterwards only when I go to the restroom but I don’t see them
yes what’s what I use! Have you had them? What helps them go away?

Ok chronically have them 😅 what really helped me was add bidets to my bathroom, of course least amount of straining as possible
I feel like I’m not even constipated so I feel like I hardly strain and I got my gallbladder out so it’s not ever hard 😂😅 sorry TMI!

I got mine out too girl lol 😂 they seemed to be better for me after the surgery

It doesn't feel like it completely went away I kinda feel it still but it's less painful but I also haven't used prep H in a while because I'm always in a rush to take care of baby.
Like said I also have a bidet at home which helps a lot.
I also used witchhazel wipes after bideting then prep H.
Be proactive about it because I ignored it until I got a blood clot so now recovery is taking longer than I want it to
how did you get a blood clot? How does that happen and how did you know? Sorry so many questions.
do you see your Dr for it?? I’m like what do I do, never experienced this before! Lol

I saw a dr when I got my first taste of this misery and he prescribed a topical steroid along with a topical pain reliever. Those worked better than your standard prep h for shrinking the hemorrhoids.
how does it work if there internal? I don’t see them so I’m assuming their on the inside

It's ok lol. Honestly I wish they prepared us more for PP issues and what you might deal with and how to treat it or at least preventive treatment.
I just got a blood clot after a bowl movement one day and I was like ok gotta treat this now.
Like when I wiped there was an actual blood clot on the tissue 🥴
I had a bit of blood a few days before the blood clot happened and I ignored it then I got a blood clot.
I don't remember if I was straining that day but I know that I had rough poops that week ☠️

It could be a tear (anal fissure) on the inside and not hemorrhoids. I would talk to your doctor about it or see a specialist and they can help you.

That's how mine started, it's the worst, I'm sorry!

I do not see a doctor! I just kinda deal since they don't so much lol
how long does it take to heal if you know? Everytime I go number two, the first wipe is blood 😩 it’s making me nervous

Surgery (don’t recommend if you want another baby because it could happen again) or you will just have to make sure your poop is soft and/or tolerable. Most people live with it forever and learn how to keep it from not hurting/bleeding.
