What to do if pregnant women have hemorrhoid bleeding

In our lives, many pregnant women will suffer from hemorrhoids during pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy, because the pregnant woman's belly will become bigger and bigger in the late pregnancy, and when it becomes bigger, it will squeeze the pregnant woman's intestines and slowly cause hemorrhoids. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids usually have internal hemorrhoids and are likely to bleed. So what should pregnant women do if they have bleeding hemorrhoids?

1. Drug treatment (used under the guidance of a doctor):

There are many medicines for treating hemorrhoids, but pregnant women should be cautious when choosing hemorrhoid medicines.

For example, external hemorrhoid ointments often contain medicinal ingredients such as musk and bezoar, because musk has a significant stimulating effect on the uterus, which can easily cause miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, you must take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

After giving birth, because you need to breastfeed and it is not convenient to take medicine immediately, it is recommended to use some sub-low temperature medical ice bags for cold compresses first, which can relieve the pain of hemorrhoids. At the same time, it also has a cold compress care effect on the perineal incision during the delivery process, which can relieve the pain of the perineal incision, reduce bleeding from the wound, and prevent edema and hematoma.

For example, Pingchuang Postpartum Bao has this function of low-temperature cold compress. At the same time, it can also measure the amount of blood loss of pregnant women after delivery, and promptly determine whether there is a risk of heavy bleeding.

2. Surgical treatment (not recommended for pregnant women):

Normal hemorrhoid treatment can also include surgical treatment, but this method is unsafe during pregnancy and pregnant women need to take certain risks, so it is not recommended. Unless the bleeding is heavy or frequent, surgical treatment should be delayed until after the baby is born.

3. Conservative treatment for hemorrhoids in pregnant women (recommended):

The main treatment is diet adjustment and daily fumigation and sitting bath. Surgery is generally not used.

Pregnant women can also do some exercises to promote local blood circulation in the anus: contract the anus on your own for 1 minute, relax and then contract again, do this 3 times in a row, 3-7 times a day.

In the later stages of pregnancy, reduce the time you spend standing or sitting for long periods of time to allow for smoother blood circulation. But no matter whether the condition is mild or severe, Pingchuang Medical recommends that you receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
