What should I do if I have hemorrhoid pain after childbirth?

During the confinement period, it is inevitable to reduce travel, and most mothers stay at home and do not exercise, so hemorrhoids are prone to occur. The traditional concept is that it is taboo to go out and it is best to rest in bed. But now with the improvement of living quality, some concepts have to change, and we need to look at it dialectically. How to deal with hemorrhoids after childbirth? The editor will analyze them one by one and give you some effective methods.

How to treat postpartum hemorrhoids:

1. In the early stage, you can drink more water or eat more fiber foods to prevent dry stools.

2. You can also use medications for treatment, such as ointments or suppositories. Using laxatives can help the mother defecate and make the wound less serious. Doctors say that laxatives are not recommended. You can also take a sitz bath to promote blood circulation and change the constipation situation.

3. During the menstrual period of hemorrhoids, new mothers should participate in physical activities appropriately. Such as walking, Tai Chi, abdominal breathing and other exercises. You can also do anal lifting exercises, which are to hold back the bowel movement, lift the anal sphincter upwards, inhale, retract the navel, relax the anal sphincter, and exhale to restore everything to normal. Repeat this exercise 30 times each time, once in the morning and once in the evening.

4. New mothers should lead a regular life, have regular bowel movements every day, keep their bowels open, change their underwear frequently, wash their anus frequently, and keep their vulva dry.

5. If the condition is serious, such as fistula, surgical treatment is recommended.

Pregnant women are prone to hemorrhoids because the enlarged uterus compresses the vena cava after pregnancy, which can easily lead to varicose veins in the lower limbs and perineum. Varicose veins around the anus can form hemorrhoids, which is also related to factors such as the amount of activity and diet after childbirth. It is recommended to get out of bed and move around as soon as possible after delivery, eat more foods high in fiber, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more warm water.

The editor recommends that you should strengthen your lifestyle during breastfeeding to avoid hemorrhoids. Everyone has different opinions on the issue of confinement. Some conservative people strictly adhere to traditional taboos, while others do not care and think it is unnecessary. The editor believes that everyone’s physique is different, and it must be viewed dialectically based on one’s own physical condition.
