To be utterly sad about piles

[MrsA2015]

DD just turned 3 last week and it’s just hit me that post birth piles are here to stay. I’m only 26 ffs this isn’t fair. Dp wants another and I feel like crying out “MY BODY IS STILL RECOVERING”, but it isn’t recovering is it? It’s ruined.

Bump!

I would agree they are a total pain in the arse!!

See a gp surely??

Have you spoken to your GP, if they are really bad I think there can be surgical options.

FWIW I get them too. Not all the time but about once a month for a few days. They are a literal pain in the bum.

Spoke to my go last year and she gave me anusol and said drink more water, nothings coming hanged and going Is always painful almost like there’s a Sharp bend on the exit and everything piles up. No pun intended

Have had tenancy to piles since pregnancies many years ago....Ok if I have prunes each day with breakfast, if I were you I Would be having fybogel or something similar twice daily + anusol

Go back to your dr and ask to be referred to hospital. I got mine banded which helped for a few months. They came back and I decided that they needed to heal and used sugar free sweets to basically make everything super liquid so no stress on the area. Yes this is MINGING but it worked. I suffered for about a year until I did this.

Argh my mum keeps saying to get it tied off but I can’t feel much of a protruding lump (sorry tmi) will have to brave it and go back to the drs

OP, if you can’t feel a big lump then it could possibly be a fissure. That’s what my piles turned out to be. And then issues with the fissure have turned into more problems (surgery last week, recovering now!) so it’s def worth asking for a referral to a colorectal specialist.
