Heard a few friends mention they got piles during pregnancy and now im a bit worried about what it actually is. Im in my 3rd trimester. Can someone explain what causes it and how common it is?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins around the anus that can itch or bleed during bowel movements. When I stayed at my parents' place, my mother used to give me warm water to sit in and added fiber-rich fruits to my diet to ease the pain. It really helped.
It's piles, which happens due to the pressure of the growing uterus and constipation. I had to manage my diet very strictly due to gestational diabetes, so I ate lots of green veggies and fiber which also helped prevent this. Avoid straining at all costs.
It is a very common but uncomfortable condition where veins swell up due to the extra pelvic pressure. Having gone through IVF, I know how stressful every physical symptom can feel. Please speak to your doctor gently, they can give you safe ointments to soothe the pain.
Hemorrhoids are just piles, and many women get them because of the pressure down there. Don't worry, it doesn't affect your chances of a normal delivery. Just keep your bowel movements smooth with a fiber-rich diet and water.
Oh, it is basically painful, swollen veins in your rectal area, often caused by constipation and pressure. I had terrible nausea and couldn't drink enough water, which led to this. Please drink plenty of fluids and eat high-fiber foods to keep your stool soft.
