Constipation has made things so bad and now there are fissures, it pains a lot when i go to washroom. Im in 2nd trimester. What did you all do for relief that is safe? Im scared to use anything random na.
I totally understand how stressful and painful this is, it used to make me cry with worry. Please don't stress, just consult your doctor once and they can give you a safe ointment. Focus on soft foods and warm sitz baths.
Fissures are very common but you need to act fast before they get worse. Start having isabgol with warm milk at night and avoid spicy food completely. If there is bleeding, directly go to your gynac without delaying.
I felt so miserable and embarrassed because of fissures during my last trimester. Warm sitz baths and coconut oil application gave me some relief, but I finally had to tell my doctor who prescribed a safe cream. Please take care, you will get through this.
Oh god, I had this terribly just after my delivery. My doc asked me to drink loads of water and eat high-fiber food daily. Sitting in warm water also helped so much to relieve the pain.
Since I had PCOS, my digestion was already weak and pregnancy made it worse. I used to eat oats and papaya under doc's advice to keep my stomach clear. Don't take any random laxative without asking your gynac first.
