Oh the joys of child birth, my youngest is 17months and I still suffer with piles now. I don't think you can ever actually 'get rid' but if you use hemorrhoid ointment it shrinks them and makes them less tender.

And eat lots of fibre-rich foods and your '5-a-day' so that you don't have to strain when you poo Smile

I had a massive pile after ds, horrific, used anusol after going to the toilet and before bed and it went within maybe 2 weeks? Good luck!!

However, [tmi] if I don't drink enough and I have to strain to poo it does come back, but not as large..

Honestly? You are lucky its only one. My piles in late pregnancy and subsequently after the birth were worse than my also very bad tear. When I went for my 6 week check at the hospital the dr remembered them and commented on how bad they were!

Apparently if they havent gone within 6 weeks they are there to stay, I still have them quite badly although they dont hurt at all anymore so im pretending they arent there as I believe the op to have them removed can bring its own issues again!

Good luck, I hope they go
