I've been experiencing some discomfort and pain around my anus lately. I'm in my second trimester. Is it common to have anus pain during pregnancy, and what could be causing it?
Increased progesterone slows down digestion, leading to constipation and painful hemorrhoids. Try sitting in a tub of warm water for comfort and never strain while passing stool.
Mere saath bhi ye problem hui thi jab main ghar pe mummy ke paas thi. She used to give me warm milk with ghee at night to help with bowel movements. Definitely tell your doctor if the pain is too much.
Yaar, don't stress too much, it's super common due to constipation or mild piles. The pressure down there increases as the baby grows. Just drink lots of water and eat fiber-rich food.
Actually, the pelvic pressure is real during these months and constipation makes it worse, yaar. Talk to your gynac and she will give you a safe stool softener syrup, it helps a lot.
I totally feel you, I went through this and it was so painful that I literally cried in the washroom. Please don't suffer silently like I did, ask your doctor for a pregnancy-safe laxative or cream.
