This is totally embarassing to me to ask this After having my daughter, I developed hemorrhoids. Something that happens to a lot of women but one part of giving birth most don’t talk about. It is EXTREMELY painful to have bowel movements and I don’t know what to do about it!
Anyone have any remedies that will CURE this awful pain and get rid of the baby piles all together?
I am 39 weeks today, and have been suffering with many different issues for over a month now. I am pre-clamptic, have LOTS of water weight, a high level of amniotic fluid, and hemorrhoids so bad that I will have to have surgury on them after I deliver.
I am debating on asking my doctor to just go ahead and perform the c-section b/c I don’t want to put any more stress or pain on my rectum. He has been talking about inducing me as soon as my cervix softens or i start to dialate. Well, baby has not made any attempt to drop, nor have I softened or dialated.
So, with this information, what would you do?
Did you ask you doc for a c-section? What was the response?
Do I have the right to ask for the c-section, and him have to comply?
If i was in your case i would ask for a c-section…If he denies it then ask him to expain why…..I have to have a c-section because i had a previous surgery(fistula and fissure) and since the surgery was done wrong the first time my chances of tearing or having problems was high…And i had my OB appt today and he said that it would be way stressful on my body and cause more problems later on esp if i want to have more kids(which i do) Anyway, you def dont want to put anymore stress on ur body then you are already and result in more complications later down the road!….I would def express your conern to your doc…and soon before you do go into labor and regret not asking!
Or are there certain types of food or ingredients that can make things worse. Also can stress have an affect, and are hemorrhoids hereditary? My mother had an operation for them when she was 40, and my father is 64 and has never had them. I am in my early 30′s and had my first one at 30 and second one a month ago, is there anything I can do to help prevent flare up?
There is some thought that hemorrhoids my be somewhat hereditary. There seems to be a familial tendency, although it probably plays a small role.
We actually all have hemorrhoids. What causes problems is when they swell, causing symptoms (most commonly pain, itching and bright red blood from trauma).
Things you can do to prevent a flare-up include: avoid constipation, weight loss (if you’re obese), avoid prolonged sitting – whether at work or on the toilet, wash that area regularly.
Fiber supplements and eating a diet high in fiber are very helpful because they keep you regular and keep the stool softer, reducing the trauma that may cause a hemorrhoid to get worse. Stool softeners are also helpful during a flare-up because it allows that area to heal.
