Get Rid of Hemorrhoid Pain in Pregnancy

Pregnancy should be a joyful moment but many women suffer from hemorrhoid during pregnancy. It is common in pregnancy because of several reason such as women carrying extra weight while they pregnant, their growing uterus can increase the pressure on the veins in the lower body, pregnancy hormones can also cause the walls of your veins to relax that make them to swell more easily, and last we can't forget that pregnant women tend to have constipation that can lead to hemorrhoid. The chance of having hemorrhoid will increase if women have had hemorrhoid before pregnancy and they may also develop or flare up with the straining of labor.

Although most hemorrhoid improve on their own after the baby is born, women still have to suffer from the pain during their pregnant, but there are numbers of things that you can do to relieve from hemorrhoid pain. Warm water and ice pack is one way to help decrease swelling and discomfort, you can soak your rectal area in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes at a time for several times a day or apply an ice pack (with a soft covering) to the affected area several times a day. Soft, unscented, white toilet tissue, it will be better if you moist the tissue first or using medicated wipes because it causes less irritation than colored, scented varieties. You also have to keep your anal area clean because letting it dirty will lead to infections.

If you are still unable to relief the pain after using those methods above you can ask your healthcare practitioner to recommend a safe topical anesthetic or medicated suppository. There are many hemorrhoid-relief products on the market, but consult your practitioner before trying one on your own. Most of these products should be used for a short course of treatment only (a week or less). Continued use can cause even more inflammation.
