What to do if you have hemorrhoids during pregnancy?

Having hemorrhoids during pregnancy is still a rather troublesome situation, because it is best for pregnant women not to take medicine or other situations at this time, because this may have a very big impact on the fetus. Now, friends, are you very clear about this? However, there are still many ways to help pregnant women treat hemorrhoids. Now the editor will give you a detailed introduction.

In order to ensure the growth of the fetus, pregnant women need more adequate nutrition than ordinary people. Hemorrhoids often bleed repeatedly, which over time can lead to anemia, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, poor spirits and other symptoms. This not only affects the health of the pregnant woman herself, but also affects the normal development of the fetus, easily causing developmental delay, low weight, and even premature birth or death.

Internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids may prolapse outside the anus when they develop to a certain extent. As the hemorrhoids continue to grow and prolapse, when the abdominal pressure increases slightly such as when pregnant women are walking or coughing, the hemorrhoids may prolapse and they will be unable to participate in activities, which increases the mental and physical burden on women in the late stages of pregnancy.

In addition, due to the gradual increase in abdominal pressure, especially in the late pregnancy, many pregnant women experience edema of both lower limbs, dilation of the upper and lower anal veins, and increased congestion. Finally, during natural delivery, they hold their breath, causing a sharp rise in abdominal pressure, leading to hemorrhoidal edema, eversion, prolapse or incarceration, which are difficult to reduce, causing great pain to the mother and even affecting her physical and mental health throughout the postpartum period and maternity leave. The chances and risks of hemorrhoids in pregnant women are much greater than those in the general population, which is very dangerous for both the pregnant women themselves and the fetus in their womb.

During pregnancy, you should pay more attention, especially to develop good living habits, because treatment is relatively troublesome, so the best way is prevention. Only prevention can lead to better treatment. At the same time, you should also pay attention to your diet in normal times and don't eat too much food that is difficult to digest.
