40 weeks 1 days terrible hemorrhoids…?

i kno (tmi) but i have a hemorrhoid and it hurts really bad… does anyone know how to get quick relief for the pain. i can barley walk and it hurts to sit or stand.

Haemorrhoids don’t pop up overnight, they develop slowly over time. They are common during pregnancy due to increased blood volume, increased pressure in the rectum/anus due to the weight of pregnancy and constipation. Hereditary factors also come into play. Sitting on hard surfaces for long stretches of time, heavy lifting as well as sitting or standing for long periods can also contribute to the development of haemorrhoids.

There are several things you can do to treat haemorrhoids using a combination of diet, natural remedies and over the counter preparations.

–NATURAL REMEDIES

# Tissue salts, which you can get over the counter from your pharmacy or a health food store

# Witchhazel which you can also purchase from your pharmacy, is used topically. You can apply it on a cotton ball to the affected area when going to bed. Leave the wet cotton ball on overnight and you will usually see great results in 2-3 days.

# Phytopro by Metagenics you will need to see a naturopath for this one, but taking them around 2-3 times a day will usually result in haemorrhoids disappearing within 1-2 days.

# Arnica – Make up a solution of one tablespoon of arnica tincture in one litre of cold water, apply topically twice per day, using a facewasher or other clean cloth.

# Warm baths several times a day in warm water for 10 minutes or so.

# Acupuncture for improving blood circulation

***TRY this herbal mix of 50g Shepherd’s Purse 30g Knotgrass
Prepare the herbs as a hot tea infusion and drink 3 cups per day.
Apply Swedish Bitters tincture directly onto the haemorrhoids twice daily.

–DIET
A diet high in fibre from vegetables, fruits and cereals will help with softer bowel movements that are easier to pass and will help keep you regular. Make sure you are drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day. If you are finding it hard to eat enough fibre, try taking something like Metamucil or put some psyllium husks into a banana smoothie and put wheat germ on your cereal

–MEDICAL TREATMENTS
Apart from diet and the other suggestions above, there are a number of other treatments for haemorrhoids (depending on the type), including:

# Astringent ointments or suppositories to shrivel the haemorrhoids (available over the counter from your pharmacist, e.g. Proctosedyl)

# Injections

# Rubber band ligation

# Surgery as a last resort

Chat to your GP about treatment options so that you have a treatment plan in place which is safe for you and your baby.

***TIPS
1. If you have external haemorrhoids and find wiping after going to the toilet to be painful, try some gentle babywipes.
2. Make a herbal bath to soak all your tender bits in – add a good amount of sea salt to your baths or sitz baths to help you heal. Also use a peri-squeeze bottle which was a life-saver on the toilet.

These are the herbs I put in the herbal bath sachets (tied up in a muslin bag):
- Lavendar - Uva Ursi - Calendula - Rosemary - Comfrey - Sage
Lovely smell and very soothing, I found

3. Buy a rubber ring to sit on if you have pain when sitting

I need relief from hemorrhoids! Please help!?

I have a really big one that appeared last night. I have applied prep h this morning, been drinking water, eating and raisin bran. I will take some metamucil fiber later on today. It’s pretty inflammed right now though, and very very uncomfortable. What else can I do? Should I just leave it alone and wait for the swelling to go down? This is embarassing…please help!

If you have hemorrhoid here is how to treat them:
1. Keep it clean: Keep your anal area as clean as possible. Using moist wipes or medicated hemorrhoid pads are more comfortable than toilet paper.
2. Lay down: Avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time, which can put pressure on the hemorrhoids.
3. Let someone else do it: Avoid heavy or moderate lifting.
4. Petroleum jelly: Try some petroleum jelly on the rectum to cool it off and ease bowel movements.
5. Try some ice: Sitting on an ice pack may give some relief from the burning.
6. Use a sitz bath: Sit in enough warm water to cover the hemorrhoids, either in your bathtub or in a sitz bath that fits on the toilet.
7. Use suppositories or creams: Check with your health care team before trying any of the over the counter remedies you may find in a drugstore. See:Medication for Hemorrhoids

If none of these remedies helps, your hemorrhoids get worse, or you see any bleeding, check with your health care team.

Hemorrhoids?

I’ve just noticed that in the last 3 months about a week before my period starts my hemorrhoid will come out and stay out until after my period. I have to use those nasty suppositories every night. It dosen’t totally rid me of the problem but it helps a little. Has anyone else had this problem or am I just weird??? If anyone has is there a better relief for this???

You can go to the pharmacy and ask for witch hazel. This comes in form of premoistend pads or in liquid form, use a cotton ball to clean the hemorrhoid it helps with itching…..Dont worry, a lot of women have this problem!

what are some good food that will not cause constipation?

I and my daughter lately have had our share with constipation lately. She drinks a lot of milk and eats a lot of dairy products. I love sweets and deviled eggs. What is better for us to eat so we can stop the constipation issues? It is making us feel miserable and basically lately for a few days , i do not really want to eat and she strains to no end to relief herself and i think she is going to pull a hemorrhoid if she does not stop it .
