I'll spare you all the gruesome details but it's getting pretty bad down there. I'm 38 weeks and I have the external type of piles that are clearly visible and painful.
I'd appreciate advice on a couple of things. Firstly, if I don't do anything, could this situation make labour even worse? I'm concerned that as the perineum gets such a bashing during pushing I could be in for even more trouble. My second question is how did you treat this issue? Diet isn't a problem - I eat loads of grains and bran, plus drink loads of water.
Thanks in advance...
