What soothes and prevents hemorrhoids during pregnancy? (serious answers only)?

I have a large welp on the top of my butt and it is swollen.I’ve had them before but this one is huge.I soaked in epsom salts to try to soothe it and that doesn’t seem to help.I know i have been putting a strain on myself picking my daughter up and down the stairs.. what are some other remedies for this?

Here’s some information from a book of mine that I think you might find helpful.

“Rectal Bleeding and Haemorrhoids

‘I’m concerned about the rectal bleeding I’ve been having’.

Bleeding is always a frightening symptom, especially during pregnancy – and particuarly in an area so close to your birth canal. But unlike vaginal bleeding, rectal bleeding is not a sign of a possible threat to your pregnancy. During pregnancy, it’s frequently caused by external, or les often, internal haemorrhoids and/or anal fissures (cracks in the anus). Haemorrhoids, which are varicose veins of the rectum, afflict between 20 and 50 percent of all pregnancy women. Just as the veins of the legs are more susceptible to varicosities at this time, so are the veins of the rectum. Haemorrhoids (also called piles because of the resemblance these swollen veins sometimes bear to a pile of grapes or marbles) can cause itching and pain as well as bleeding. Anal fissures are also fairly common in pregnancy. The can accompany haemorrhoids, or appear independely are are generally extremely painful. Constipation often causes or compounds both problems.

Don’t try to self-diagnose rectal bleeding; it should always be evaluated by a physician. But if it does turn out that you do have haemorrhoids and/or fissures, you’ll have an important role in treating them. Good self-care can often eliminate the need for more invasive medical therapy.

Avoid constipation: It is not a necessary component of pregnancy. Preventing constipation frmo the start is frequently an excellent way to prevent haemorrhoids and fissures completely.

Take pressure off: Sleep on your side, not your back, avoid long hours of standing or sitting, don’t strain when having a bowel movement or linger on the toilet (keep rading maternial out of the bathroom so you aren’t tempted to just sit and read). Sitting with your feet on a step of stool may make evacuation easier.

Lie down several times a day – if possible, on your left side – to take the pressure off your rectal veins for a while. Watch TV, read, and do paperwork in this position, if possible, when you can.

Do Kegel exercises regularly – These simple exercises improve circulation to the area.

Soothe the area: To reduce discomfort, take warm sitz baths twice a day. You can also apply witch hazel pads or ice packs to the site. Try both the hot and hold approach and use whichever you find more soothing, or alternate.

Don’t use medications without medical advice: Use topical medications, suppositories, laxatives, or stool softeners, only if prescribed by a doctor who know’s you’re pregnant. Do not take mineral oil which can carry important nutrients out of your body.

Keep scrupulously clean: Wash the pernieal area (from vagina to rectum) with warm water after bowel movements, always wiping from front to back. Use only white toilet paper (a cushiony two-ply is more soothing), and avoid aggressive wiping.

With good care, you can keep haemorrhoids from becoming chronic. They may be aggravated by delivery, especially if the pushing phase is long, but usually disappear postpartum if preventive measures and continued”

I hope I could be of some help to you!

I’m going to include the link to a pregnancy forum that I think you might find handy. It’s full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.
