I had them post-partum and it was horrendous. </p> ineebee on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2176058 Tue, 12 May 2015 16:33:59 +0000 ineebee 2176058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them big time after delivery. Definitely a stool softener, a sitz bath, witch hazel pads. Also, when you wipe, I always moisten the toilet paper. Dry toilet paper makes it worse. If they're pretty painful, I recommend asking your doctor for a lidocaine cream. It. Is. Awesome. </p> sarac on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175702 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:46:33 +0000 sarac 2175702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prep H suppositories, magnesium (EVERYONE who struggles with regularity needs this), and 15g of fiber daily. Cured me, and mine were bad. </p> keepcalmcarrie on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175629 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:15:56 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2175629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, toward the end of pregnancy with LO2 and after delivery. They went away at about 6 weeks pp. Tucks, Prep H, and drinking lots of water helped. </p> Mama Bird on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175623 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:13:18 +0000 Mama Bird 2175623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them after pregnancy too. They got better when I was sitting less. There's also a cream that helps, but I forgot the name... </p> cascademom on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175606 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:03:37 +0000 cascademom 2175606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, after pregnancy. I used Tucks and Prep H. I had it so bad at 6 weeks postpartum that I had some prescribed suppositories to get them reduced. I'm totally expecting them once this guy arrives. </p> Truth Bombs on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175598 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:00:29 +0000 Truth Bombs 2175598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them bad after delivery. My nurse told me to take a tucks pad and fold it in half. Then put a line of preparation H on the fold, and then leave it between your cheeks, with the fold/preparation H facing in against the hemorrhoids. Sounds gross but it really did help. </p> Adira on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175556 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:35:01 +0000 Adira 2175556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - after both pregnancies! :( Colace (a stool softener) helps. </p> mediagirl on "Have you ever had hemorrhoids?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-hemorrhoids#post-2175548 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:32:46 +0000 mediagirl 2175548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have them but someone I know does. Any tips on what to use/how to self medicate w/o seeing a doctor? </p>
