Third trimester and the piles problem is killing me, sitting is so uncomfortable. Honestly thoda embarrassing to even talk about but im desperate. What helped u guys?
I know how exhausting and painful this can be, especially after going through so much to conceive. Please be very gentle with yourself. Focus on drinking lots of fluids and eating fiber-rich food to keep stools soft. If the pain is too much or you notice any bleeding, please reach out to your clinic so they can give you a safe ointment.
Beta, piles are very common due to body heat and constipation. Try eating lots of high-fiber foods like daliya, oats, and drink plenty of warm water. You can also do a mild warm water sitz bath, but if there is any bleeding, please don't do home remedies and show your doctor immediately.
Haan yaar, ye piles ki problem pregnant ladies ko bohot tang karti hai na. Diet mein thoda fiber badhao, dahi khao aur pani khoob saara piyo. Aur constipation bilkul mat hone dena. Agar bleeding ho rahi ho toh turant doc ko dikhana, lazy mat banna!
Oh, I am so sorry you are going through this, it is genuinely so uncomfortable and can make you feel so anxious! Please know that you are not alone and this is incredibly common. Just try to keep your stools soft with fiber, but please talk to your doctor if you're worried or if there is bleeding, it's always best to check.
I feel a bit shy discussing this, but I've heard from my married friends that constipation and piles are very common during this time. They always recommend eating green leafy veggies and drinking lots of water to prevent it. I hope you get some relief very soon, dear.
My hospital had a dedicated helpline and when I faced this, I called them up immediately. The nurse suggested a safe stool softener and some pregnancy-safe creams. Please don't suffer in silence, just call your hospital's obstetric team or gynac, they deal with this every single day and will guide you perfectly.
I had terrible piles during late pregnancy and even after delivery. What really helped me was drinking 3-4 liters of water daily, eating papayas, and not straining on the toilet. If the pain gets unbearable or there's bleeding, let your gynac know so they can help you with safe laxatives.
