I am 20 weeks pregnant, Is there any safe things i can do to get rid of hemorrhoids i know a high fiber which i have started but anything in my home that is safe like a home remedy, i think i have an internal hemorrhoid because i went to the bathroom to take a bowel movement and i bleed bright red. So i really need some remedys or something. thanks. i got hemorrhoid wipes with witch hazel that the doc said was ok but will that really help?

Hey,
Good to hear you have already increased your fiber intake. A few more things you can do to aid in curing your hemorrhoid include:
•Try to maintain high hydration levels – drink lots of water
•Avoid lifting heavy weights
•Avoid constipation by eating foods which are high in fiber (vegetables and cereals are great sources of fiber). As you increase you intake of fiber it is important to increase you fluid intake proportionally.
•Exercise daily. Even if you don’t have time to do a lot of exercise – a 20 minute walk can do wonders for your body as well as helping to keep bowel movements regular.
•Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, take short walks from time to time where possible. Try to lye on your side where possible to reduce pressure.
You can relieve pain by soaking in the bath 3 times daily and also by applying ice to the area.
Natural remedies are definitely a great way to cure hemorrhoids. I personally used these and they helped me a lot.
A couple of home remedies include:
One trick which works well to relieve the itching and burning sensation caused by hemorrhoids is to apply a small amount of vinegar to the hemorrhoid. Apart from reducing the itching of the hemorrhoid, the vinegar will also work to bring down the swelling of the hemorrhoid.
Another form of natural hemorrhoid relief is to apply the Aloe Vera to the hemorrhoid. This can be done by cutting an Aloe Vera leaf open and gently rubbing the Aloe Vera gel onto the hemorrhoid. Doing this helps to minimize swelling.
I have provided a link below to a page all about Home Hemorrhoid Cures – I think you may find it useful.
Hope this helps,

my mom and grandma told me to clean with witch hazel and then put Vaseline on it. the Vaseline worked for me. good luck : )
I struggled with hemorrhoids for years, until I found a system that cured my hemorrhoids in 2 days using completely natural methods at home. I also use the system to prevent recurrence. Note that hemorrhoids is very liable to recurrence. Visit this site.
