Really bad hemorrhoid

I have a really bad hemorrhoid where it hurts to sit down and even pooping it feels like needles do I keep using tucks till it goes away? What do I do? I see my OB doctor tomorrow I don’t know if she can help and give me something for it. Has anyone else have this happen to them after birth? I’m 5 weeks postpartum.

Yep ! Tucks pads do anything to keep your stool soft. I personally drank apple cider. One big tall glass daily. Don’t strain.

@Elysha What does the apple cider help with? Would using dermaplast with the tucks help. And do I just wear the tucks on a pad or just dap the tucks on the area?

Ooffff I JUST went through this! My doc had me on laxatives for a while. I’m still on them. It’s seriously so painful. Hang in there!

I used hydrocortisone cream. I put the tucks folded right on top the anus area. Apple juice helps you go to the bathroom. Apple cider I feel like is more concentrated or whatever idk it just made me go and they were soft if I didn’t drink it I struggled.

@Elysha Thank you I’ll try that!

@Erin Yes it’s so painful! I’ll take laxatives then so hemorrhoids come from being constipated? I was pooping once a day I didn’t think I needed to take them but when I did poop it did feel like it was a hard not soft

@Megan hopefully it works for you. I have never been constipated before until after birth.

Sitz bath!

@Elysha yes that’s been me like I poop once a day but I guess I’m not getting enough out and it feels like a hard poop not soft so that explains why I would need a stool softener

Stool softener, Sitz bath, eating 2-3 bananas helped me a lot

@Megha Did you get something for the sitz bath I’ve heard of them but I don’t know how good they work. How many times did you do it?

@Megan I used this product from Amazon. I used to to fill it with Luke warm water and use it 3-4 times a day. Hope this helps you!

@RAA thank you I’ll try it!

Sitz baths hands down! They are a game changer

Sitz baths help me sit on the toilet for 5-10 mins after pooping to relax the muscle I got mines from the hospital,
