What are the treatments for hemorrhoids during pregnancy?

We know that pregnant women have a hard time during pregnancy, but they still feel discomfort in other parts of their body. Hemorrhoids are more common in pregnant women now, mainly due to the diet of pregnant women during pregnancy. Now the editor has collected some methods for hemorrhoids in pregnant women, hoping to be helpful to expectant mothers during pregnancy.

Pregnant women are a high-risk group for hemorrhoids. In addition to dietary factors, a more important cause of hemorrhoids is that in the late pregnancy, the fetus grows larger, the intra-abdominal pressure increases, and the portal vein return is blocked, causing rectal venous congestion, thus forming hemorrhoids. If you have hemorrhoids before pregnancy, the symptoms will worsen during pregnancy.

Generally speaking, hemorrhoids during pregnancy are treated conservatively. Patients can take oral laxatives, or use local Chinese medicine hemorrhoid wash formulas for fumigation and washing, or apply hemorrhoid ointment externally. If the condition is serious and the hemorrhoids cannot be retracted, causing incarceration, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Normally, in addition to emphasizing a nutritious diet, pregnant women should also pay attention to drinking plenty of water and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially green vegetables, leeks, radishes, bananas, pears, etc. that are rich in fiber to moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements. Avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, garlic, onions, and fried foods.

During pregnancy, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, you should avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time and do some outdoor activities as appropriate. Do pelvic floor exercises twice a day, morning and evening, and repeat 20 times each time. The specific method is: relax your whole body, sit upright, clamp your thighs together, bulge your abdomen when inhaling, and sink your abdomen when exhaling. After taking two breaths, lick your upper palate with your tongue, lift your anus, hold your breath, and then relax your whole body.

Now everyone should have some help in the case of hemorrhoids in pregnant women. The editor hopes that the above methods can be helpful for some pregnant or non-pregnant women who have hemorrhoids during pregnancy. Therefore, women should pay attention to a light diet during pregnancy, but it must be nutritious food, so as to maintain the development of the fetus and the health of the pregnant woman.
