Postpartum hemorrhoids – what they are
Hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids. We all have hemorrhoids and they are exactly small cushions filled with blood vessels inside, and their task is to seal the anus together with the sphincter. During emptying, i.e. pressure, the blood inside the hemorrhoids should flow back in and allow the anus to open.
Hemorrhoids after childbirth – symptoms
Postpartum hemorrhoids are a common ailment, but unfortunately not all women seek help from a specialist because it is an embarrassing ailment. Can postpartum hemorrhoids cause a lot of pressure during labor? One of the factors that causes hemorrhoids after delivery is constipation, especially in women who have had a caesarean section. Heavy lifting and an incorrect diet can also cause hemorrhoids after delivery. Women in the puerperium still have hormonal disorders, which can also cause postpartum hemorrhoids, as they slow down the digestive process, which can cause not only weight gain, but also constipation. What symptoms do hemorrhoids suggest?
- bright blood that appears when rubbing
- pain around the anus, making it impossible to sit down if the haemorrhoids are larger
- baking
- anal itching
- problems with maintaining proper hygiene
Symptoms are due to the fact that in some situations the blood does not drain completely from the hemorrhoids during defecation, they become enlarged, and this all leads to inflammation and the formation of hemorrhoids.
If you have problems with hemorrhoids, try Hemorrhoids – a blend of herbs that support the circulatory system and tighten blood vessels.
Postpartum hemorrhoids – treatment
Initially, postpartum hemorrhoids can be treated with home remedies. Proper hygiene of the anus is very important, it is worth buying natural cosmetics without dyes and smell. An example of a product suitable for this condition is Anusir anal cleansing foam or HEMOpran – a gel for cleansing the anal area.
Postpartum hemorrhoids can be very itchy, but they must not be scratched as this can lead to increased inflammation. You should also consider changing your diet with plenty of dietary fiber to help reduce constipation. Therefore, the daily menu should be enriched with fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, wheat bran and whole grain bread. Postpartum hemorrhoids are also formed when defecation is abnormal, and you should not tense up during the course of the day, which will reduce the risk of haemorrhoid prolapse. If possible, after defecation, rinse the anus with warm water, if the situation does not allow it, it is worth using delicate wet wipes.
Postpartum hemorrhoids can be treated with herbal compresses, as well as with herbal tubs: calendula, chamomile, and oak bark. You can buy a mixture of herbs for hemorrhoids for sit-ins at Medonet Market. The pharmacies also offer ointments (e.g. Anusir ointment for itching and burning) and suppositories that relieve symptoms associated with hemorrhoids. However, postpartum hemorrhoids cannot always be treated with pharmaceuticals, as there may be contraindications to medication if a woman is breastfeeding.
If postpartum hemorrhoids are not absorbed, symptoms are getting worse, a visit to a proctologist is necessary. Large postpartum hemorrhoids can be treated:
- photocoagulation,
- sclerotherapy,
- cryotherapy.
With very intense symptoms, the doctor may suggest a surgical solution. The prognosis after haemorrhoid surgery is very favorable in most cases.
As an aid in the treatment of hemorrhoids, it is worth using the beneficial power of herbs. We recommend, for example, For hemorrhoids – a herbal mixture available on Medonet Market in a large economic package and at a promotional price.
