Its not something i want to think about but since giving birth to Miss B i have had one that just wont go away - am wondering if im going to need this done and if so has anyone else had it done?

I haven't had one but I've assisted in a few hundred, and DH has had one.
His was a daystay procedure felt great afterwards.
THey can either band them if they are big enough or sometimes they inject them to make the veins go down.....hmmm what else can I tell you?

[hj1981]

yeah a reply - thankyou so much
Does it hurt? how long does it take for the banding way to fix them? are u aware if there is anyother way of getting rid of them without seeing a doctor?
I only have 1 thankgod - doesent cause me any problems but i dont like it!
All Miss B's fault!
Do they knock u out for the proceedure? and are u aware of cost?

Hi hj
i had one after DS it was small but did cause pain so i went to the see the surgeon at the hossy he said they could give me a GA and do it but he thought they could band it, he did then and there in the consulting room, it hurt like hell when he was doing it and for a few hours afterwards and i was a bit sore the next day but two days later no pain.
you can get some cream from the chemist i think but it helps with the pain doesn't make them go away i don't think.
the joys of having babies hey! Hope this helps, its not an easy thing to ask a friend IRL well it wasn't for me!

Kimmy - yep i have tried every cream possible - and neither have worked!
im not liking the sound of the banding - but im not a fan of going under either!
does it really have to hurt like hell?????
has it totally gone now? does it drop off?
yep the joys of babies - but they are worth it! sounds silly but apart from me knowing its there the only reason why i want it gone is so DH or anyone dosent see it when giving birth to my next one - when i saw it when giving birth to B i was so embarrassed and self conscious of it!
