Sorry if TMI and this is really embarrassing, but then I just couldn’t take it anymore. It’s so painful I could cry!!! It’s been sore (excruciatingly sore) for about four days now and I don’t know what to do about it. Sitz bath didn’t work for me. I won’t be seeing my doctor until Monday. I also sit during during work.. Has anyone been through this as well?

I’m 31 weeks pregnant by the way.
Didn’t I just mention that the sitz bath didn’t work for me?

Someone in my family who’s been diagnosed w/ hemorrhoids, bleeds from them daily; I believe not only after using the bathroom, but for a while after that. Someone else (not on his part of the family) did have bad case years ago, but hardly ever complains. And he never bled on a daily basis.

This other person has been diagnosed (some months back) as a possible diabetic. Could this be main cause?

I’ve been using them for a full week now. (Bleeding has stopped, but there is no other effect.) Should I continue using them? Anyways, what do suppositories DO? Do they temporarily or permanently shrink hemorrhoidal tissue?
