Is this piles? TMI so sorry

[elm26]

Hi everyone I'm 32 weeks pregnant and suffering with my IBS.

When I wipe, it feels lumpy so after a shower I sat on the toilet and bared down and took a picture and it's really swollen and like lumpy tissue is hanging out of me 😔 it's not itchy or sore.

I've got some anusol I bought today but not sure if it is piles or some kind of prolapse.

Any words of advice?

its unlikely to be a prolapse, it’s very likely to be piles. I got them in my second trimester thanks to severe constipation (3 weeks not a sniff of a poo! But DESPERATE for one) and I’m now 5 months PP and still have them. They have hurt more than anything and other times like now no pain what so ever. Anusol and germoloid suppositories helped when in pain but useless other wise. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable go to the doctor :)

This sounds like piles to me. I've got them at the moment too! I'm 34+3... was so sore last night, hurt to sit down 🙈

Try some anusol or a cold/warm flannel on your bottom for a bit -- sometimes that helps with swelling and pain!
