I am 4 months PP and it still hurts to poo! When do they go away?!
-
Have you used any creams? You may want to get a prescription strength from your doctor. They should have started shrinking by now. You might try some home remedies too
-
i'm 13 months pp and still dealing with them...
-
25 months PP here and they're worse than ever. Sorry. The suppositories help a lot.
-
They come and go... Try taking a bath!
-
I think they are on the inside? Would creams/baths/etc. work for internal hems?
-
@rahlyrah: a bath always helps things
OK, maybe this is TMI but sometimes I squeeze the cheeks together and it helps a little.
-
I got internal ones and my OB gave me a prescription 3 step kit that works wonders! It's called Analpram (omg haha) but it really worked.
-
@grizz: Ha! I suppose I should make an appointment with my OB.
-
Go to the doctor. LO is 17 months old and they come and go. Got a prescription from my GP.
-
13 months and still dealing with them when they come and go.
-
7 months pp here, and no end in sight. Doesn't help that I'm also 16 weeks pregnant. I figure I'll deal with it all after this kid is out, lol.
-
Thank you for asking this! I'm 3 months pp and mine are as angry as ever. It's horrific.
-
My OB told me they would never really go away, but would come and go as in flare ups. Unfortunately I've found this to be true
-
NEVER.
8 months PP & worse than ever. And mine's on the outside so it is FREAKY.
-
Boo. You ladies have ruined my morning. Thanks a lot!
-
I've had really bad hems all pregnancy - internal and external :(. I've been way past home remedies for a while. What's worked for me to manage the pain is daily stool softener (colace or prunes + fiber gummies), hydrocortisone suppositories (yes gross but totally worth if when you hurt) and a lidocaine cream for external application.
-
@rahlyrah: Mine are internal, and I can tell you that a bath will not work. You need some kind of over the counter or prescription suppository.
-
At about 2 months pp, I had them so bad I went to the doctor. I got a course of suppositories. About a month ago, the same doctor prescribed a cream for me for adult diaper rash when the weather was sticky.
