When to see a doctor for hemorrhoids during pregnancy?
Sorry for tmi but im really uncomfortable, third trimester and the piles thing is getting worse. Not sure if i should wait for my regular checkup ya book something sooner. Anyone went thru this?
If you are literally dreading going to the washroom, it’s time to call the doctor! I am in my third trimester and dealing with this too, it's so annoying. Just ask your gynac for a safe stool softener before it gets worse.
If simple home remedies like warm sitz baths or high fiber diets aren't helping, please book an appointment. I had them too before my normal delivery, and my doctor's advice really helped ease the discomfort.
Honestly, you should mention it to your gynac on your very next visit, even if it's mild. But if there is any bleeding or severe discomfort, don't wait for your scheduled appointment—just call them.
With twins, the pressure down there was double! See a doctor immediately if you notice any bleeding or if the pain is keeping you from sitting. Don't suffer silently, doctors deal with this every single day.
You should definitely ask your doctor if they are painful or bleeding. When I had thyroid issues, I was already visiting my doctor so often that I just asked her about my mild hemorrhoids too, and she gave me a safe cream.
Don't tolerate the pain. If you see blood or if it's hurting to sit, just consult your doctor. There are very safe topical creams and syrups they can prescribe to make your life easier.
