piles

[ainneagh]

gross, I know, but does anyone else still have great big painful ones 2 months after giving birth? Going for endoscopy this week and worried I may have more than just piles.

Yes, oh yes. Sadly

And I did after dd1, too - they got better eventually, and GP gave me Proctosedyl supps which helped a lot, but the tendency stayed. And they're worse post dd2 (six months later, and still there on and off).

I also had an endoscopy a few months post dd1, as I had ongoing heartburn, and it was a hiatus hernia...pregnancy induced. I'm guessing that being prone to piles I'm also prone to hh, as its all to do with lax tubes of one sort or another

Wishing you well with your tests, and piles, both!
