How to Cure Piles during Pregnancy

Que puis-je faire pour traiter les hémorroïdes pendant la grossesse?

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum. To ease the discomfort of hemorrhoids during pregnancy:

Soak in warm water. Fill the tub with warm water and soak the affected area. Don't put soap or bubble bath in the water.

Avoid sitting for long periods of time. Sitting puts pressure on the veins in your anus and rectum. When you can, lie on your side or stand up. If you must sit, take frequent breaks or sit on a hemorrhoid pillow, also known as a ring cushion or doughnut.

Use an over-the-counter remedy. Apply witch hazel medicated pads to your anal area. Or ask your health care provider to recommend a hemorrhoid cream or rectal suppository that's safe to use during pregnancy.
