Ugh. Haemorrhoids..

[xAmiixLouisex]

Pretty much figured out I have haemorrhoids. Just went to the toilet after doing a number one AND two. Scary amount of blood in the toilet. Wiped myself. Bright red blood. Of course I panicked and turned into a mess. I started wiping the front and kept getting nothing. Then wiping the back was getting blood. So, kinda relieved now. Obviously not the best of situations but would deffo prefer bleeding from the back rather than the front.

Kinda embarrassed. But, what do I do next? Is there home treatment? Do I see the doctor? I have no idea..

There is an 'over the counter' cream you can get called ANUSOL which is really good, it helps shrinks them from the inside. but you defo need to drink more fibre and loads more water to soften your poo, the bleeding, i believe is becoz your poo is too hard and is cuttin you internally which you'll end up with scar tissue makin goin more harder. If that cream doesnt work a doc can prescribe you one with anaesthetic init which numbs the area, I found that amazin haha

I have them too.. I tried witch hazel and it didn't do a damn thing. Then my husband mentioned preparation H and I didn't know if it was safe, but the doctor said it's fine. Prep H has a page "just for moms" https://www.preparationh.com/hemorrhoids_pregnancy/index.asp and they are listed on babycenter's list of over-the-counter medications safe during pregnancy: https://www.babycenter.com/0_chart-over-the-counter-medications-during-pregnancy_1486462.bc Which also helped put my mind at ease. Hubby went and got me some of the cream and it worked it's magic in less than a day. Gonna be keeping it on hand from now on.

I also have them. I've been using Witch Hazel Pads. They work great!
