Hemorrhoids
Show your support
I’m 14 months postpartum and still have mine. The Epsom salts and prep H help with the discomfort and sometimes they’ll go back but they always come back after a bit but a TON of women are stuck with the hemorrhoids after having a baby unless they get them surgically removed. I had asked my OB right before having my son and he said most likely they’ll never go away unless I have surgery for them and so far, he’s been correct. My mother had me and only me 26 years ago and still has hers I’d also try wiping back there with baby wipes cause they’re less irritating than dry toilet paper and get you cleaner cause it’s a pain trying to get genuinely clean with hemorrhoids and if you don’t get it clean it’ll get itchy and irritated, causing pain/burning. Then apply the prep H afterwards. You can also occasionally soak in an Epsom salt bath once you get clearance to take a bath.
^ yes true , forgot to mention I still have mine but I manage them by using Epsom salt . It’s helps with the swelling . It shrinks them for me . But you can also ask your doctor for suppositories .
I’ve used preparation H and epsom salt .. I find that epsom salt helps more but you’re 3weeks pp so I don’t think it’s a good idea to bathe
