I have a borderline internal/external hemorrhoid, and it is driving me crazy.

It’s because I’m 30wks pregnant, and haven’t been able to be very active throughout my pregnancy. My diet is pretty good (not constipated or diarrhoea, regular) and I am getting more exercise – but it isn’t helping my immediate situation.

It seems to be too large to expect to go away on its own, or to reshape back to normal, but it keeps getting irritated and expanding, every time I think it is improving.

I don’t want to take it to the doc, but I am worrying that nipping it off with a rubber band might be the only option for one as big and stubborn as this.

I’ve had it 2 weeks and it is driving me spare.

Help what do I do!

After having a baby, can a woman get rid of hemorrhoids obtained during the pregnancy? I also had a Gastric Bypass, so elimination is occassionally a problem, but not for the most part.

i keep on hearing about women with hemorrhoids because of pregnancy. but i guess i really don't know what they are. do you get them during pregnancy? and WHY?

Are hemorrhoids normal during pregnancy? Please help, this is a very serious matter. I can't keep my mind on anything!!! Don't know if I need to focus on contractions or my butt!

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I have noticed that I have 2 little hemorrhoids, they don't hurt or bleed. But I hate them, I developed them during pregnancy due to constipation. I am so worried I want to get rid of them so bad! Is there any medicine i can use to get rid of them? Help!
