So, who else had no idea vaginal haemorrhoids were a thing?!

[AngeloMysterioso]

Because I didn’t!!

Cystocele, rectocele, these are all delights that had never occurred in my imagination until now. And I thought I had it bad having an episiotomy with Thing 1 and tearing with Thing 2…

Loving my post-third-baby body less and less at the moment. Yeesh.

I know…

I’m not calling them vaginal haemorrhoids. Vaginal haemorrhoids are a separate, no less unpleasant but still very real, thing.

😮

Oh my god.

I was just listing the apparently numerous ways my nether regions are now messed up after babies. Cystocele AND rectocele AND (as I have discovered to my horror this evening) vaginal haemorrhoids. None of which I had been aware of existing until I had them.

Do you understand now or are you still confused?

Oh, and regular haemorrhoids. But I already knew about those.

I'm sorry you have this OP, but your posts were very confusing for me too! I hope you can get it sorted.

Feeling a bit sorry for @Catmummyof2 who's had her head bitten off! Your OP is super confusing without the clarification

So what are they?

I thought haemorrhoids were sections of bowel that protruded from the rectum?

Can you explain what vaginal haemorrhoids are?

Yep agreed.

Super unclear OP, then very snarky comments to @Catmummyof2 who was being perfectly reasonable.

I knew what you meant op. Yep they’re crap. I’ve got a low grade one that swells up during my period. Very uncomfortable

Probably not as well as Google can

I'd be snappy too if I had haemorrhoids in my vagina

Damn right I’m snarky, I’ve just discovered I’ve got vaginal fucking haemorrhoids and the first response I got in a moany thread about it was someone who seemed to be repeatedly suggesting I’m too stupid to know the difference between them and cystocele/rectocele.

If you’re going to describe my posts as nonsensical you should first learn to spell it.

For the record, I was very confused as well.

This is why I’m grateful every day for my C Section (and yes, I know that doesn’t guarantee these issues don’t arise as some crop up in pregnancy regardless. I assume that not having to push greatly helps avoid them though).

Hope you get them sorted. Sounds horrible. Never heard of them before either.

Well. This has gone well, hasn’t it?

(I also agree - the OP wasn’t clear)

@AngeloMysterioso Ah, scraping the barrel a bit, criticising my spelling.

However, if you look at it, you'll see that it's obviously as a typo as opposed to a spelling error.

But well done, you were close!

Hope it made you feel better.

I hope swearing at me and insulting me when I’ve just discovered a fairly horrifying situation happening to my body made YOU feel better.
