Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Anus And Hemorrhoids

default
Posted on Mon, 10 Aug 2015
Question: I've had hemorrhoids since my first pregnancy and now worse since my second pregnancy, but the past few days it seems like my whole anus is swollen and purple in color. Could it be more than hemorrhoids?

Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for the query

Looks like they are hemorrhoids. Pregnancy is known to worsen them but usually not much to worry. Get yourself examined once by a doctor

If hemorrhoids are confirmed then can try following things
-     Avoid straining for stools
-     Take high fiber diet
- Take plenty of water
-     Can take some stool softeners like isapgula husk after consulting your doctor
-     Local ointment to be applied before defecation will help to ease pain.
-     Can try sitting in XXXXXXX warm water to reduce pain and swelling
All this will help you in long run

Hope this answers your query
Happy to help
Wish you a speedy recovery
