Anusol in third trimester

[Justus22]

Sorry for the yuk topic but I got piles after/during birth of my last child and once I used a weeks worth of anusol suppositories and cream they went away and have not bothered me until now, 5 years on and 32 weeks pregnant, on iron tablets and I obviously strained a little. Not much visible but I'm in agony. I went to the pharmacy and he said he can't recommend without Dr's advice. Trying to get an appointment. Please someone tell me I will be able to use the anusol suppositories and cream to sort it? I'll check with Dr just looking for some hope. Any other natural methods/ideas. Thanks in advance x

I used both anusol and prep H cream and suppositories in my last pregnancy. Piles were worse than the labour for me!

The pharmacist ok'd it for me. Usual stuff about saying they can't test this stuff on pregnant women and so the companies cover themselves by saying do not use but no evidence, or cases, of any issue and up to me, therefore if I wanted to use.

I was happy to use. Had internal and external piles at the time so I needed an all guns blazing approach for my own pain and sanity!!!
