Hi all I’m really wanting to hear from anyone who has had grade 4 thrombosed external piles that have gone away with steroid cream, baths ice and care. I’m /6 weeks pregnant. I’ve been referred to see an NHS surgeon at the end of June but read pretty negative stuff about recovery and the idea of that on top of heavy pregnancy or new born plus c section new. I also have a two year old and am not able to do much with him. Plus work requires me to sit in a chair (am a counsellor).
I’m on my second round of steroid ointment from the gp and actually the pain has gone. But there is a little caterpillar - about 1cm high attached to the skin going from my bum to my vulva. So they can’t be put in.
I’m a bit deer in the headlights, panicked about this as I’ve read that surgery is the thing. They’re too severe for banding or lasering. And I fear they won’t get better. But they don’t hurt much now so could they go?
