39 weeks, thrombosed hemorrhoid, what are they going to do?
So I have had painful hemorrhoids for the last month and the past few days one has been unbearable. I have an appointment Friday and was going to try and wait it out, but when I woke up this morning I just couldn’t deal with it anymore.. plus my 2 year old caught on that Mommy can barely move and is taking advantage. (I know this is gross, lol.) My husband looked at it and told me it looks black, which I’m guessing along with the excruciating pain means it’s thrombosed. I called L&D (I’m on a military base and things are different) and they told me to come in immediately… I am so scared. The thought of anyone looking at it is mortifying in itself but thinking about them poking at it is terrifying. I have a high pain tolerance but this thing had me crying today when I tried to get out of bed earlier so I am so scared about what they’re going to do with it, the pain is so very bad. Anyone have any experience or advice with this? I’m waiting for my hubby to get home and then I’m off.

Medical treatment of hemorrhoids is aimed initially at relieving symptoms. Measures to reduce symptoms include · Warm tub baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes. · Application of a hemorrhoidal cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time. Preventing of the recurrence of hemorrhoids will require relieving the pressure and straining of constipation. Doctors will often recommend increasing fiber and fluids in the diet. Eating the right amount of fiber and drinking six to eight glasses of fluid result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. Eliminating straining also helps prevent the hemorrhoids from protruding. Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In addition, doctors may suggest a bulk stool softener or a fiber supplement.
In some cases, hemorrhoids must be treated endoscopically or surgically. These methods are used to shrink and destroy the hemorrhoidal tissue. The doctor will perform the procedure during an office or hospital visit. A number of methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of hemorrhoids.
Here is a website that describes the painless non-surgical techniques, lasers for hemorrhoids, harmonic scalpel for hemorrhoids, and the use of hemorrhoid medications

Oh bless you i never had a thrombosed hemorrhoid but straining during labour definately triggered hemorrhoid’s. They are so uncomfortable i hope they can do something to soothe these for you before you give birth. Mine took about a week to heal.
Hemorrhoids during pregnancy is a common issue. So, do not get so scared. Hemorrhoids which are seen during pregnancy usually go away after the child birth. However, you can try some home remedies and natural treatments in order to prevent the intensity.
