ugh, hemorrhoid after having my baby…how to treat it?
i had my baby sunday morning. i didnt have any hemorrhoids till yesterday. i noticed it last night and i know its not from delivering my baby, its from going to the bathroom wednesday night. tmi, but the stool softeners didnt really work and it took me like an hour. i tried not to push too hard but i guess i did. anyway, now i have a hemorrhoid. its not big or necessarily too painful, but it is uncomfortable. what can i do/use to help them now and to prevent them from now on?
1 Over the counter stuff has never worked for me. I got a prescription of Proctofoam from my doctor. It's like a spray-foam that works excellent. I'm sure your doctor wouldn't mind just calling some in for you. Good luck!
2 My son is 3 months old and I still have them from childbirth! I pushed for 3 hours and now have internal hemorrhoids that BLEED a ton when I go to the bathroom. Nothing has worked yet 
Unfortunately. But keep taking stool softeners as long as it's uncomfortable to go!
3 The cream is only if they burn/itch. If they don't, then get Tucks pads; that will make them go away. I got hemorrhoids 2 months after my son was born and nothing helped but the Tucks.
Unfortunantly, you will now get them forever But, they will never be as bad as they are now (well, until you have another baby)
