Can we talk Hemorrhoid Remedies Again?
I tried a search but couldn't find the thread I was looking for.
I am in agony, no exaggeration. I got almost no sleep last night because I am in so much pain.  I started my prescription cream but two days in and so far it's not helping.
I soaked in a warm bath this morning and I am having DH pick up some Tucks. Anything else? I have no idea why I am getting these. I am not constipated.
Honestly if I went into labor right now I have no idea how I would give birth, that is how bad the pain is and I've pushed an 8lb baby out with no drugs. This is awful.

The best thing I know are Sitz baths frequently and tucks. You can also try vaseline back there to keep things moist and will ease things if you have to have another BM

I didn't know about the vaseline. I will try that. I plan to soak in the tub again after dinner.

Re: Can we talk Hemorrhoid Remedies Again?
Take collace even if you are not constipated. It's a stool softener so it will help a bit when it's "coming out". Sorry TMI!
If you are have RX that's about it, on top of the sitz bath and tucks.
Make sure not to sit for too long or get a pillow or ring pillow.
Is it thrombosed?

Re: Can we talk Hemorrhoid Remedies Again?
I was miserable...
My rhoids had their own rhoids...
I used Prep H cream
Tucks pads
Sitz baths
got a script from my doctor
They didn't go away til I was about 6 weeks PP.
They sucked, and caused me so much pain.... I remember so many nights kneeling on the floor w/my head on the bed crying....
And I had them from month 4 straight through.

I probably sit too much b/c of pregnancy restrictions. I guess I'll go get a ring pillow tomorrow or try to lay down more than sit.
I don't know how to tell if it's thrombosed. I would venture to say yes based on how painful it is and what I read.
I'll add some stool softener too.

Re: Can we talk Hemorrhoid Remedies Again?
AS some of the women said, definitely invest in a sitz bath over the tub. If you can sit 4-5x a day at 10 minutes a clip, it should really reduce the swelling which will in turn alleviate some of the pain.
Another thing I used was witch hazel pads to wipe after going to the bathroom (#2). The last thing you need is toilet paper being scratched across them. Sorry TMI. You want to keep the area as clean as possible so the wipes really help.

Yes, and like the PP said do not wipe with TP. Use the tucks (I actually prefered the Prep H wipes. They are bigger and in a case like baby wipes) to wipe instead of TP.
Do a Sitz bath after each BM.
DO NOT strain to go to the bathroom and do not stay sitting on the toilet for too long.
I had to have to an outpatient procedure while I was 24 weeks PG with DS. I avoided another procedure at 29 weeks because I was able to catch it early. If it's thrombosed it will take a few weeks to go away with all the home remedy.
I ended up with a c-section because it was so bad and it was a huge concern if I had a vaginal delivery. I even had a colon/rectal surgeon come see me in the recovery room after the c-section to see if I needed surgery.
It's not fun!
Hang in there!
Make sure NOT to eat spicy food.

This is what I worry about the most. I will be 37 weeks Sunday and I am planning natural childbirth again. I need this pain in the a$$ GONE!
A C-section is an absolute last, last, last resort for me.
Thanks for all the tips. I will be following them all. I have the wipes now and will get the sitz bath tomorrow.
I haven't been straining (so I have no idea why I got these) so that's good.
I'll be careful on spicy foods although I haven't really been eating that either.

Re: Can we talk Hemorrhoid Remedies Again?
Also... another thing is NOT to sit on the toilet bowl for a long period of time... I don't know the logistics behind it, but I read in a few different places that doing that will aggravate them.
