Hemorrhoids?

Has anyone else got them after giving birth or while??? Mine were huge but have gone down a lot. How can I get rid of them? I’m still sore down there as I gave birth a few days ago. Or do they deflate & go away? Anything will help? Please & thank you.

Witch hazel helps a lot! Plus a hemorrhoid cream it will go away pretty quickly. It's normal to have them with pregnancy and birth. I've struggled with them. When pooping try not to strain or push too much just let your body do the pushing

I Still haven’t been able to poop after I gave birth, I’m miserable. Any cream In particular that is good with hemorrhoids?

Had them after last birth. They're so uncomfortable so sorry you're dealing with them. Preparation h cream and witch hazel wipes. Soaking in warm water with epsom salt. You can also call your dr and get prescription strength and inserts if they get bad. And if you can, this is weird, push them back in your butthole if they're coming out. A nurse taught me that and made them less exposed and painful. Mine went away after about a month.
Take care!

thank you ladies, I was able to finally go and di what Ashley said just let your body do what it does and it wasn’t as painful but it’s still uncomfortable. I will go buy preparation H & with the witch hazel? Is it the liquid? I have the witch hazel wipes. And there is a small one out, I’ve tried to put it back in but it like keeps Coming out when I sit on the toilet. 😭

Ah.... 🤦‍♀️ after rereading it I realized what you meant 😆😅 I thought you meant the wipe fell out when you sat down... now I realize what you were saying... one thing I did was when I was just going pee I would sit back on the toilet so my butt was on the plastic back, helped it not fall out (yes it means sometimes having to clean the toilet seat after but worth it not feeling it fall out)

Lots of water. Colace 1 or 2 times a day. Prep H and lidocaine. Sitz baths or salt tubs. and eat healthy food. And if ya can... push em back in. Mine were painfully thrombosed. Almost needed surgery but I'm 17 days PP my hemorrhoids were probably the worst and most vicious part of delivery. They were bad and I'm finally almost in the clear.
