I think she's got a 'roid?!?!?!

[Arimeh]

So a few of you know that Miss M has had constipation lately - so we've tried the coloxyl, brown sugar, water during the day - and they have been a bit better - ie, she hasn't been screaming or squealing in pain when passing.

Just before - she did the high pitched squeal again (and I so hate it, breaks my heart!) and we checked her nappy, it was quite a hard poo - but is looking like it might change soon, if that makes sense? Like, the hard bit was at the beginning, not at the end of it.

But - when DH wiped her bum, he noticed a little blistery bit just above her actual bum hole. Like, just at the end of the crinkly skin bit?? (lol.. sorry for TMI!!) So I'm guessing its a 'roid?

How do you treat them in babies??? I know how you treat them in adults... but babies?

Oh Mel, poor little Miss M....i know only too well how painful 'roids are having had them myself after having my second baby.

I'm sorry i can't be of any help, i've never had to worry about them in a baby. Do you have a after hours surgery you could call and ask them?

[sneakysparkle]

oh poor miss m
cant help sorry, the poor little darlin hope someone has a solution!

[Ellibam]

[Arimeh]

Just a note about paw paw - I heard somewhere that it can cause thrush so maybe just be very cautious when putting it on that it's only going where it's needed and nowhere else!
Um also at risk of TMI, if the 'blistery' thing is just outside the er.. hole... then it may be a tiny anal fissure rather than a 'roid - as I understand it 'roids are bulging vessels just INSIDE... Treatment is the same though so it doesn't really matter which it is. HTH

Paw Paw cream works for EVERYTHING!

Hope Miss M is better soon Mel....i hate seeing them in pain too

[Visitor7]

You can get internal and external roids.
I hope whatever it is clears up soon Mel. Poor little chicken.

[Schmickers]

Haemmorrhoids would be unusual in that age, I agree that it is more likely to be a small anal fissure.

It should get better on it's own, but if you notice it becoming red, or if you notice any pus or bleeding, I would take her to be checked out.

What are you giving her for the constipation?

[Arimeh]

Michael - at the moment, just a bit of extra water during the day. The homeopath wanted me to take her off everything and try the soy formula - and give it 3 days and then start introducing coloxyl again.

So the 3 days were up yesterday. I'll probably start with the coloxyl again I guess, I like that idea better than the brown sugar, and I didn't like the effect last time with the prune juice!!
