Pregnancy Hemorrhoids? Some Tips For Piles During Pregnancy
For a lot of women, piles during pregnancy are a frequent problem for three primary reasons:
1. The increase in abdominal weight causes pressure in the rectum and around the anus.
2. You are prone toward constipation which is a disaster for hemorrhoids.
3. The strain during the delivery is often just too much for the tender rectal tissue.
There are many steps at home you can take to avoid and relieve hemorrhoid symptoms though.
- Avoid constipation! Do this by increasing your daily intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (bread, pasta, cereal). Drink more water to help the fiber along.
- Do not sit on the toilet for more than 10 minutes at a time, no matter how constipated you feel.
- Add a bit of exercise to your daily routine. Take short walks if you can. Get up and stretch and move around every hour or so. Change position frequently in your chair even if it is just shifting your weight from one side to the other. Keep yourself meticulously clean, especially after bowel movements.
- Don’t rub the anus with toilet paper. Use a soft moist cloth and gently pat yourself dry.
- If you are having an hemorrhoid “crisis” (pain, bleeding, itching) try to soak your anal region in warm water throughout the day. Use a pan or specially designed plastic item called a Sitz bath (since you probably can’t lower yourself into the tub). Apply pads soaked with witch hazel to your anus throughout the day.
