Piles @ 31 weeks pregnant

[Nananath]

Hi my partner is suffering right now from piles,

After first child was born was her first experience of this and now with second child she is experiencing excruciating pain at 31 weeks pregnant.

She has tried prep h, anusol, suppositories, is having baths but obv cant live in them. Shes literally been in bed all day crying in pain and theres nothing i can do
To help.

Have any of you experienced this and what helped you?

Is this something that is going to stay until after birth now?

If she’s crying she needs to see a GP as it might have gotten infected. If it’s not infected she could try half melted ice cubes for a bit of relief.

Thanks, i remember her crying when she had got them after birth last time and even with that in mind the docs were useless as if she just has to live with the pain

She probably needs them removed. But yeah take her back tomorrow so they can check. Nobody wants a strangulated pile / hemaroid
