Anyone else suffered with piles at 20 weeks?

It's so painful, I can see it by my bottom. I've spoke to my GP but they said they don't recommend cream. I've tried ice and warm baths but neither helps!

😢 any suggestions

My midwife did recommend the creams! I used both anusol and germaloid cream alternately. And I used small ice packs, wrapped in a muslin and wedged in there... my sympathy, it really sucks.

Fwiw now I've given birth they've miraculously started to heal

It's so painful. I really sympathise. I did use germaloids when I was pregnant. What about speaking to the midwife to see what she says? I think your GP had been really dismissive x
