 Topic: Haemorroids/Piles
Posted: 03 April 2005 at 3:30am |
This is an embarrasing thing for me to talk about but i think i may have one,i am off to th Dr. when i wake up as i am in a lil bit of pain.
Has anyone had one while pregnant and if so wot did u do to ease the discomfort?I am pretty sure i have an external haemorroid as i coud feel a lil lump by my anus (sorry if this is weirding u out lol).
As u can see by the time of this post it is 330am as i cant seem to get to sleep cos of the pain.I have popped a paracetemol tab which i am not sure has helped ease the pain.
Anyway I think I will try get some sleep sorry again ladies about this topic but just really wanting reassurance/comfort in knowing i am not the only one who has had this happen to.

ouch, sorry i haven't had them. But a friend had them with her pregnancy and birth. After she gave birth the midwife told her that she had popped them out and to put them in, in the shower?????? I thought it was probably something i shouldnt of heard and chose to treat it that way and pretend that i hadn't. Sorry i cant be of much help.

Hi, man that sounds sore. Sorry, havent had to experience that but a friend of mine had them and i remember her saying how painful they were. Hope the Dr is able to give you some relief. Good Luck.

I've had a few problems with haemmarroids after having Jake, however, I just ignored them and after a few painbful months, they went away. they were only painful when i went to the toilet so I jsut tried to drink lots of water and eat lots of fibre and stuff...not fun.

He prescribed some cream which is going to be fun to apply (NOT!!!).and just to keep up with fluids and fibre.He said it had thrombosed(?) which means that it has bled
He seems to think that in a few days of applying the cream i shall be a bit more comfortable as it shrinks it back down.I am scared to go #2 in case it hurts lol.
It is weird cos no one i no of in my family suffered from these yet i have a bit of trouble going to the loo once and I get one!!!
I said to Nath today that this pregs has def thrown all sorts at me lol .

LOLOLOLOL well ladies,the first one she suggested was to grate some potato and apply it like a compress (cant remember if u put some grated spuds up ya bottom),the second way is to carve a piece of spud in the shape of a bullet (prob about 2-3 cm long) and insert it up ya bum like a suppository.
How it works is that the potatoe draws the water to or from the haemmorroids(cant remember which it is).Oh and u use raw spuds lol.I think the spud is meant to draw the fluids from the haemmorroid thus shrinking them down.

Oh My God!
I will surely never look at a potato the same again!
Have never heard of that one before but am dying to know if it works! Couldn't she give you some nice medicinal cream or something instead? Lol
