I had a baby in May, my first and very likely only, I’m 41. I developed piles during my pregnancy, they were not good but Scheriproct seemed to shrink them a bit and they got somewhat smaller/better. When the baby was out (c section) they had disappeared by the next day and I was briefly over the moon. They came back the same week following constipation from the anaesthetic and they haven’t gone since.
More scheriproct has since been prescribed, ointment and suppositories this time, but nothing much has changed. They’re still there, I’m still miserable and want them to bugger off. I feel so incredibly unattractive.
In your experience, is there any chance they’ll go on their own? I’m doing pelvic floor exercises most days, when I remember, I need to get back to general exercise and lose a stone, I’m hoping more activity and less weight will help, but I’m not getting my hopes up. Has anyone tried any interventions like banding with success?
