Any recommendations for post both piles?!

[impatienttobemummy]

They are hurting more than my gaping episiotomy today!!
Any miracle cures?!

I was prescribed nose-spray for mine by my gyne. Otrivine i think (was a while ago). Reduces the swelling. After DC 2 I got them worse and my GP gave me strong anti inflammatories. The relief once they kicked in was well worth the indignity of the initial examination!!!

Go to the doctor! I put up with them for a hole, then went and found out they were thrombosed (had blod clots in them) and needed treatment- over the counter stuff would never work. As surrounded said, well worth the indignity of the examination!

Thanks guys ill make a GP appt asap!

Yes get to the doctors. It's not worth the pain if you wait. Lots of fibre and laxatives to make your poo soft. Prune juice vile but good.

I am 3 weeks post partum and had exactly
The same issue. Episiotomy was a walk in the park compared to the piles! Baths , lying down (
To take off pressure) and regular pain killers. I personally
Found that even prescription stuff did naff all but they DO go down. I am now left with quite horrible skin tags ( tmi I know) but at least the pain has gone.
And wet wipes- only wipe that end with wet wipes- do.not. Use. Toilet. Paper!!!! Makes the world of difference to pain and healing. Hope they improve soon - had tons of sympathy. For me they were the worst part of giving birth and recovery!

Sit in a salty bath, it's painful at first but it worked for me. Also get hemaroid cream from gp.

Suppositories! Much better than cream alone IME
