Hemorrhoids/Piles makes me want to.give up on EBF
Having a successful time breastfeeding my little boy but I'm not 4 weeks PP and suddenly gotten Hemorrhoids which are not going. Thr problem being that sitting all the time for Breastfeeding is making it worse. Every night once I pass a solid the pain becomes unbearable but I need to feed him as.nuvht is always the toughest period.
Anyone else in this boat? Any suggestions? I've tried cream to no avail and spoke to Health visitor but she didn't seem fussed that I had bleeding from it.
I'm about ready to pack it all in and go formula just so I'm not having to sit down all the time now.

Stool softeners and drink plenty of water, also maybe try a donut cushion or roll up a small towel then into a circle or semi circle and sit on it and make sure to lean back while feeding can help relieve pressure while sat. Maybe also try the haemorrhoid pessary
Glycerin suppositories x
You can get donuts to sit on which relieve pressure. You can also download apps that help with kegal training, do those whilst you’re sat feeding, they can help with them going back.
Have you tried to nurse baby whilst laying on your side?? I had to do that a lot as I didn’t want to sit especially having stitches after birth x
