:redface: Heamorrhoids - sorry TMI i know

[hj1981]

I was a bit constipated during pregnancy, and got heamorrhoids - Giving birth made them a bit worse - they are no longer painful, but are still there - i am using a cream called proctosedyl - but they still haven't gone!
can anyone reccomend anything or tell me that they will eventually go?

[~Trish~]

Sorry I don't have any recommendations! 4 years later and I'm still not the same .

I had ultrasound in hosptial because mine were so bad when I was pushing, that and the proctosedyl cleared them up, but then I ended up with a fissure, and that's a whoooole different story!

How many times a day are you applying the proctosedyl?

The things they DON'T tell you!!!

i think I actually had a fissure too...don't get me started...

but...

My GP prescribed me a product called scheriproct. I think it also comes in a cream but she gave me the suppositories. It did help.

I'm fine now thankfully, yikes Trish.

Good luck.

I still get lumps most mornings after a trip to the loo IYKWIM , they just don't hurt anymore, nor do they bother me. Just one of those glamourous post-baby things you don't realise you are signing up for LOL!

Mine are completely gone, I appied Scheriproct twice a day, and then when I had the fissure, Scheriproct in the morning and Rectogesic at night time. I could only use to Rectogesic at night as my baby slept through the night and it can't be used when you are about to BF, so by morning it was out of my system.

HTH.
