Awkward subject. Anyone else suffer from these? I am 11 weeks on from my section and my bowel movements have not really returned to normal. Sometimes I have fresh red blood and it gets itchy. How gross I know!

Get yourself some Anusol and speak to ur doc as they may be able to prescribe something stronger, I found ibuprofen helped also

Yes :( 14 weeks and exactly the same, I thought being back to original weight would help but perhaps not. What happens if they don’t go? Is banding commonly done? Everything I read promised they would go by now!!

I'm not sure about banding. It's so annoying isn't it. I have started taking fybogel and suppositories to see if that works.

Oh I feel your pain. I can’t remember exactly how long mine took to feel better but it was a while. I was Bf so couldn’t take stronger things and anusol didn’t help that much. Try hemoclin-it’s about £16 from Boots but it really helped. I was past caring about the cost, I’d have tried anything!!

Aww thanks for the advice. It's a nightmare
