    Thumbs down Hemorrhoids

    After the birth of DD2 6 days ago, I have painful hemorrhoids. What can I do to treat them, and will they ever go away?

    OH you poor thing

    i just had to have one massive thrombosed one surgically removed, 2 weeks ago - not sure what yours is like, but there was no way mine was going to burst on it's own and surgical removal was the only option (mine was done with local anesthetic due to being heavily pregnant!). I would suggest seeing your GP and getting a refferal to an endoscopy/gastroscopy surgeon (thats who my OB referred me to).

    Ughh just thinking about the pain brings tears to my eyes, so i really feel or you

    I had the same. You can get a cream to shrink it back, starts with p, cant remember the name but you need it to be prescribed anyway. And Obviously don't strain when you go to the toilet.

    Oh I'm so sorry you're in pain...
    I had terrible hemarrhoids after DS was born, I was a talking point in the hospital! I was given a cream, I think it was called 'shreriproct' to use three times a day. Also had ice condoms that reduced the swelling. Four and a half months on, I have one small little guy that keeps popping out to say gday, but no pain anymore.

    There are some flushable wipes in the toilet paper section of the supermarket that are a godsend!!!!

    Procetoceydal (sp?) I have also used hemocaine - has a anesthetic in it.
    Make sure you each lots of vegies/fruit, drink heaps of water and if need be get a fibre supplement. I found benefibre good cause it wasn't grainy. hope it gets better. xx
