Hemorrhoids during pregnancy

Some women, knowing about the existence of this disease, consider its manifestations during pregnancy or after childbirth to be inevitable and therefore do not attach much importance to it.

Others mistakenly associate symptoms manifestations of hemorrhoids with symptoms of the course of the disease itself. Where does this disease come from and how does it manifest?

Causes:

– Hemorrhoids – varicose veins in the anus. During pregnancy, hemorrhoids occur due to stagnation of blood with an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Often the occurrence of hemorrhoids provoke constipation.

Symptoms:

– unpleasant sensations of pain in the anus, especially after a bowel movement, – the most common manifestation of hemorrhoids;

– irritation of the skin around the anus;

– itching, burning in the anus;

– bloody discharge from the rectum after a bowel movement;

– the appearance in the area of ​​the anus of nodes (cones), multiple or single, blue-purple, rather dense.

Often in expectant mothers, hemorrhoids proceed without any manifestations: women do not show complaints characteristic of hemorrhoids, but hemorrhoids are found during examination.

Possible complications of hemorrhoids:

– thrombophlebitis (inflammation) of the nodes: the nodes become dense, painful, while emptying the intestines, the woman experiences sharp pain;

– pinching of the nodes: pain in the anus, intoxication, fever.

Edema and bleeding are, of course, unpleasant symptoms, but if aching and acute pain begins to bother, all other manifestations of the disease fade into the background. And here the drug of choice becomes «Relief Advance »containing an active anesthetic for local anesthesia, which has an analgesic effect within 1-3 minutes.

An important point is that all drugs in the “Relief” line are available in two forms – ointments and suppositories. The ointment is used to treat mainly external hemorrhoids, but suppositories are preferred in the case of internal hemorrhoids.
