How to reduce swelling of hemorrhoids during pregnancy

Hemorrhoids are an embarrassing and painful problem that no one can escape from, young or old, but they are particularly painful for pregnant women because medication and surgery are limited. So what should pregnant women do if they have hemorrhoid prolapse?

1. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids in hospitals usually prescribe herbal medicine for patients to take a bath for at least one month. They must take a bath in a sitting position. Never use a regular basin placed on the ground and squat in it to bathe, otherwise the wound may be torn. When sitting after surgery, be sure to keep the anus open to prevent pain and edema caused by compression. The intestinal rehabilitation package includes an anal spa that can be placed on the toilet for bathing, and a pain-free breathable pad cc that can support the anus. However, the ones in hospitals are generally more expensive. You can prepare them yourself, but there are also many sold on Taobao. After all, they are for nursing use, so it is better to choose official authentic products. Don't buy miscellaneous brands and be greedy for cheapness. In short, you don't have to be afraid of seeing a doctor. You must strictly follow the doctor's instructions, focus on your condition, and don't think too much.

2. The following methods are recommended for the treatment of hemorrhoid prolapse in pregnant women: There must be an appropriate amount of methylcellulose in the diet. Eat a certain amount of vegetables and fruits every day, take an apple on an empty stomach in the morning, noon and evening, or eat 1-3 apples before each meal. The main meal does not need to be too elaborate, just eat some whole grains in moderation. Drink a glass of salt water or honey lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning, cooperate with abdominal massage or waist rotation, let the water vibrate in the stomach and intestines, and enhance the laxative effect. You should drink plenty of cool boiled water 24 hours a day to help digestion. Carry out appropriate physical activities and increase physical exercise, such as lying leg curls, squats, cycling, etc., which can increase abdominal exercise, promote gastrointestinal motility, and facilitate defecation. Massage your abdomen before going to bed every night to develop the habit of regular bowel movements. Maintain a happy mood and have a regular diet, clothing, housing and transportation.

3. When hemorrhoids slip, the most important thing is to ensure smooth bowel movements. When constipation is more serious, you can use Chinese herbal medicine Huayu Decoction and other medicines for fumigation and bathing when you are swollen and painful. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements every day, and pay attention to cleaning after each bowel movement. Use damp tissue paper, baby tissue or medicated toilet paper (do not use soap) to pat dry gently; carry out some light exercise to promote gastrointestinal function, reduce the time of food passing through the stomach and intestines, and increase the amount of stool. Eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits and fresh fruits that are rich in cellulose. Such as broccoli, dried blueberries, amaranth, dried loquat, figs, pears and beans.
