What should I do if I have hemorrhoids in my anus after childbirth?

Many people will develop a series of diseases if they do not take proper care after giving birth, among which hemorrhoids are a common disease. There are many factors that cause postpartum hemorrhoids, such as the enlargement of the uterus, leading to insufficient blood supply, and it may also be due to an increase in progesterone in the body. Postpartum hemorrhoids can cause women to suffer from rectal cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases, and may also reduce the baby's immunity. Therefore, when postpartum hemorrhoids occur, you should pay attention. So, what are the treatments for postpartum anal hemorrhoids?

1. Pharmacological conditioning methods

When cleaning daily, pregnant women with hemorrhoids should first clean their anus or take a sitz bath with a special hemorrhoid wash for pregnant women. Before using hemorrhoid wash for pregnant women to clean the anus, you should first clean the anus with clean water, wash away the dirt, and then clean it again with hemorrhoid wash, otherwise the effect will be affected. For sitz baths, you should choose a high-quality sitz bath tub to ensure that the mother will not fall and slip. The sitz bath time should be more than 15 minutes to ensure the effect. Women who suffer from severe hemorrhoids after childbirth can apply a special hemorrhoid cream for pregnant women after using the hemorrhoid wash, and massage around the anus in a clockwise direction for more than 10 circles, which can effectively relieve pain, swelling and other symptoms. For women with prolapsed hemorrhoids after childbirth, after applying the medicine, they can use medical gauze or cosmetic cotton to stick the prolapsed part back into the anus and fix it in place. This will allow the drug to fully exert its effect and relieve the prolapse until recovery.

2. Exercise conditioning method

Appropriate exercise can reduce venous pressure, enhance the function of the cardiovascular system, eliminate constipation, and increase muscle strength, which is very effective in the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids. Anal lifting exercise is the simplest and most effective method. If you can persist in it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. It is not necessary to stand to do ani-lifting exercises. The mother can do it while lying, sitting or standing. Just take a deep breath and contract your anus, and then relax your anus as you exhale to complete anal lifting exercise. For best results, mothers should perform ani lifting exercises three times a day, more than 20 times each time. In addition, pelvic lifting exercises are also very suitable for postpartum women to prevent and treat hemorrhoids. Not only that, it also has the effect of restoring the shape of the pelvis. The mother lies on her back with her knees bent, bringing her heels close to her buttocks. She places her hands under her head and uses the soles of her feet and shoulders as fulcrums to lift her pelvis while retracting her anus. When relaxing, she lowers her pelvis. After you become proficient, you can also coordinate with your breathing, inhale when you lift your anus, and exhale when you relax. This method can be performed 1-3 times a day, 20 times each time.

3. Daily life conditioning method

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. As the saying goes, wash once after defecation and hemorrhoids will not appear. After defecation, some tiny fecal residues that cannot be wiped off are often left in the skin folds around the anus. Since hemorrhoids often prolapse, local swelling and inflammation, and varicose veins become increasingly severe, the skin folds around the anus will gradually increase, thereby increasing the amount of embedded feces. These impurities irritate the anus and cause itching or infection. Therefore, you should insist on washing the vulva with warm water after daily bowel movements.

4. Health conditioning method

Anal diseases are closely related to emotional distress, anger and irritability. Many people in life suffer from hemorrhoid attacks due to excessive fatigue. Because fatigue can reduce the elastic tension of tissues, reduce resistance, and cause blood vessels in the anus to dilate and become congested, which can cause illness. Maintaining an optimistic attitude is also very helpful for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhoids.

Precautions

Mothers who need to breastfeed after childbirth must be cautious about surgery for hemorrhoids, as breastfeeding will definitely stop after the surgery.

Generally speaking, you can breastfeed normally if you have hemorrhoids, but if pus comes out of hemorrhoids, be alert to inflammation and stop breastfeeding.
