Hemorrhoids still there 6 months after childbirth & during menstrual cycle?
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I developed external hemorrhoids right at the very end of my pregnancy which i know is quite common. They did seem to disappear after childbirth but i have noticed that one large one seems to return each month during my menstral cycle. Its nearly 6 months since i gave birth and whilst i think its constantly there, I think it flares up more during my period.
I know my nan suffered really badly with Hemorrhoids so i’m not sure whether they can be hereditary? Should I be worried as I do bleed bright red blood from it sometimes? I’m abit embarrassed to go to the docs but not sure whether I should be really concerned that it hasn’t dissappeared by itself although i haven’t actually tried any creams on it or anything?
Any help or advice would be really grateful ~ Thanks!

I don’t think they ever really go away unless they are irritated when you can’t go to the bathroom and have to push, but I had them also when I had my first baby and let me tell you it was NO picnic! I didn’t realize you have to drink alot of water back than but that helped me and also I heard you can try to push them in so they won’t hang out and maybe a piece of ice on it helps too. I just tend to drink alot of water now and they haven’t bugged me since.
