I gave birth naturally last Friday just after midnight, and had a first degree tear and a hemorrhoid.
What are some things I can do to help soothe the discomfort from the hemmorhoid? That’s bothering me more than the stitches healing (that still stings a big when peeing but the midwife said that’s normal).

I haven't tried it myself but I have heard witch hazel helps tons

Girl this happened to me with both my babies. I held my head high and walked my sad butt hole into the stored picked up the preperation H looked the cashier dead in the eye and said ring me up. I rushed home ran to the bathroom slathered my booty hole up and had the biggest sigh of relief. 😂

I used preparation h. That really seemed to help for me

I would use the witch hazel compresses and hold them there for about 5 minutes, twice a day.

Witch hazel helped me when I had gotten one just outside my ass😭😭😭

witch hazel and aloe vera gel on a maxi pad and make sure you freeze it and place it on your vagina and make sure you freeze about 10 of them.. they healed me up fast & my son ripped me from peehole to butthole

Thank you so much ladies for all the tips and advice!! Definitely going to be making padsicles in the morning and making a pharmacy run and trying it all out!

Thank you ladies!!! I just sent my husband out to get me the preparation h, and will be slathering up when he gets back with it haha
