I gave birth 2 1/2 weeks ago and I got hemorrhoids from pushing so hard during labor (sorry if this is gross!) They are really painful and it hurts to sit/walk/go to the bathroom. How do I get rid of them, or at least make them stop hurting?
Thank you!

You cannot get rid of hemorrhoids, but you can treat them in order to lessen their severity. A commercial ointment or cream will help to shrink the swollen tissues. (The cream is typically more effective.) Cotton pads or baby wipes that are soaked in witch hazel are cooling and soothing.
You should also take care to stay well hydrated and to eat a diet that is rich in fiber so that you don't become constipated. Do not strain to move your bowels, and do not spend a long time sitting on the toilet. When you can, avoid sitting — laying on your side may increase your comfort and provide healing time.
Last but by no means least, bring this up to your care provider during your postpartum follow-up appointment. Truly severe hemorrhoids may require medical intervention. If you experience any bleeding whatsoever, call your health care provider immediately.
