Our tips & advice for hemorrhoids during pregnancy
- Be careful with heat (such as a hot bath), this can make symptoms worse.
- For pain or tightness, an ice pack (or ice cubes in a washcloth) can provide relief.
- There are several creams against hemorrhoids. (including Curanol cream and tablets, this form of medication is natural and works well). Through your doctor you can get lidocaine cream. This is an analgesic cream, but does not fix the problem.
- Also, make sure you have as little constipation as possible; this worsens hemorrhoids.
- Before bedtime, rub the hemorrhoids with a cotton pad with witch hazel or lemon juice, if necessary.
