The Dreaded Piles

Hi ladies!

So I've got piles and they're painful! I don't know why they even recommend paracetamol in pregnancy as it does naff all!!

I had them with pg2 and after birth the midwife had said if they didn't disappear then I could have them tied? They didn't disappear but have caused no bother so I've just left them. Now I have a massive new one and it's agony! I got anusol (very appropriate name!) from the chemist and have been using it for 3days but I don't think it's making much of a difference Sad I'm not constipated so that's not an issue but has anyone got any suggestions to help ease the pain?

I'm 31weeks so still have a while to go but I'll be damned if I can live with this until birth!

So far I've been taking paracetamol, using a wet wipe to clean/dab the area, putting anusol on after a toilet visit, and have gently been pushing it back in (OUCH!)

Has anyone had them tied after giving birth? I assume they wait til you've healed down there (stitches etc)?
