Hemorrhoids are a very common disease. Women are prone to constipation during pregnancy, and constipation can easily cause hemorrhoids. Generally, hemorrhoids occur in the late pregnancy. The health of pregnant women is very important. Once there is a problem with the pregnant woman's body, it will directly affect the growth and development of the fetus. What should I do if I have hemorrhoids during pregnancy? Here are some solutions to hemorrhoids during pregnancy. Symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women 1. Constipation. Hemorrhoids in pregnant women can cause constipation and anal bleeding after defecation, but no bloody or black stools. 2. Pain. Hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus and appear as dark purple oblong lumps with edema of the surface skin and normal surrounding area. They are hard and very painful when pressed and can hardly move. When internal hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus, dark purple hemorrhoids can be seen. 3. Anemia. If hemorrhoids in pregnant women are not improved for a long time, it will cause anemia to varying degrees. 4. Poisoning. The difficulty in defecation caused by hemorrhoids can easily cause human waste to be retained in the intestines. Over time, the water in the body's metabolites will evaporate, making it more difficult to excrete. At the same time, some toxins will be released, and the metabolic products that should have been excreted will be absorbed by the body, leading to poisoning. What to do if pregnant women have hemorrhoids 1. Apply cold compresses to the hemorrhoid area several times a day with ice packs. Note that the area where the ice pack contacts the skin should be soft, which will help eliminate swelling and discomfort. 2. You can use traditional Chinese medicine therapy and apply Chinese medicine compresses to help relieve discomfort. 3. Find a bidet and soak your buttocks in warm water. You can buy a bidet at your local pharmacy or medical device store, or you can use a regular plastic basin filled with warm water, but be sure to keep it clean. When taking a sitz bath, you can alternate between hot and cold therapy. After applying ice, you can take a warm water sitz bath. 4. After each bowel movement, wipe thoroughly with soft, unscented, clean toilet paper, but be gentle. Colored and scented toilet paper can easily irritate the skin and is best avoided. You can also slightly wet the paper towel. Using wet wipes will be more comfortable than using regular toilet paper. |
