I have hemorrhoids and I am pregnant, what can I do?

Question

Hemorrhoids during pregnancy Note that I have no symptoms (constipation, bleeding, itching) other than the swollen entrance to the anus (which gave me the bug) Is it something that comes naturally?

Good morning, ma'am, An ointment like Anusol Plus can be applied twice a day and after each bowel movement if needed. I also suggest avoiding sitting on the toilet bowl for long periods of time: you should get up as soon as your bowel movements are over I also suggest using unscented wet wipes for hygiene after bowel movements as this would be less irritating. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist Often, yes, but it can take between 1 to 2 weeks most of the time.
