The piles discomfort is really bothering me these days and someone suggested ice pack for some relief. But im not sure if its safe to do during pregnancy. Will check with doc but anyone tried this?
Yes, applying an ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth can give you some temporary relief from the pain and swelling. Just don't apply ice directly to the skin, and please call your gynac to get a safe stool softener.
My gynac at the hospital said using cold compresses is perfectly fine for swelling. They also gave me a safe cream, so definitely mention it to your medical team.
Piles in the 3rd trimester is just the ultimate test of patience! Ice packs are a lifesaver for the burning sensation, but do ask your doc for a permanent solution.
Yes, ice packs are safe and help reduce local inflammation. Make sure you also increase your fiber intake and drink plenty of water to avoid constipation.
I know how painful and uncomfortable this is, especially during the later months. Ice packs definitely help soothe the area, so please take care of yourself.
My mother-in-law suggested warm sitz baths, but ice packs can also help ease the swelling. Do ask your doctor first before trying any home remedies for relief.
