I've had piles post pregnancy before which were sore and uncomfortable but not too bad and managed with painkillers, creams and baths etc. I have one now, despite trying to drink plenty of water, eating beg and having high fibre cereal, that is clearly a thrombosis (it's solid, purple and the size if a marble) and it fucking hurts. It kept me awake half the night.
Is this likely to disappear on its own if I'm patient and keep up the good diet and keeping the area clean or am I best to get a doctor on it sooner rather than later?
