9wks pregnant and have painful hemorrhoid?
I am nine wks preg and have painful hemorrhoid. went to doc this week and he recommended taking proctofoam (which is a prescription that i already had) which i have tried with no relief. have also been using prep h with hydrocortisone 1% and witch hazel pads as well as sitz baths and ice packs. i need help but don’t want to call the doc again. any advise would be appreciated. Also, if i do call the doctor back should i ask for a specific prescription? please if you could recommend any over the counter or prescription meds that have helped you

Comments on 9wks pregnant and have painful hemorrhoid?
I had awful hemorrhoids after childbirth. The nurses gave me alum mixed with a little bit of water to apply to directly to hemorrhoid. You can find it in grocery store with the canning/pickling stuff (it’s used to make pickles).
The doctor also ordered a prescription suppository that helped as well.
Also make sure you’re getting enough fiber and drinking plenty of fluids. If you’re constipated, you can take colace even while you’re pregnant (it’s over the counter).
