Relief from piles

I know there have been loads of threads on this, and I've been following them as a long time sufferer of piles... I suppose I'm always looking for new ideas for help / relief!

Anyway - I'm 35 weeks and my piles have been really sore for a couple of days -I'm starting to worry about the effect it might have on childbirth etc.

After always using Anusol - I thought I'd try Germoloids instead - WOW!!! What a relief!!

For me personally it has immediately given relief / cooling / numbing ... MUCH more effective than Anusol (for me anyway)

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is suffering too... xxx

I have to agree. Germoloids are much better than anusol lol (hate the names!) Grin

Another germaloids fan! Definitely better than Anusol!

I am trying to fool myself into thinking that piles just won't happen to me!! :-/

It's good to know that we are not suffering alone! Have been waddling all day today - not because of Pelvis , but because of sore arse! About to have third bath of the day :0)

Am 37 weeks pregnant, used Anusol, it's my 3rd pregnancy and piles re-occur at the same point every time. This time Anusol was useless, went to Boots, lovely pharmamcist recommended Germoloids, again no relief from discomfort. Ended up ringing GP last week and refusing to get off phone until prescribed something Blush Prescribed Uniroid HC , talk about relief. Hasn't made any actual difference to the piles but so much more comfortable.

Oh wigglesrock - sounds promising.. might have to resort to that. I feel grumpy and sad that the final weeks of my pregnancy are being spoiled by this nasty condition!

The annoying thing is that I'm not even constipated, so I don't think they will go now until post birth...

lol at saltnvinigarcrips .. if only I could!
