Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The piece of tissue that comes out from your rectum is piles or hemorrhoids which is commonly seen during pregnancy.
For the treatment, some lifestyle measures need to be incorporated.
1) You should increase the fiber in your diet by eating fruits and vegetables. Be a smart grocer, choose foods which have fibre more than 25gm in the nutrition information label
2) You can also sit in hot sitz bath by sitting in a shallow bucket with hot water three times a day. The heat would help in relieving the discomfort and pain of the hemorrhoids.
3) Application of local anesthetic gels and vaso constrictors like Shield ointment are also useful.
4) However for specific treatment, you have to consult a surgeon. Some of the preferred methods are injection sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation and by surgical method like hemorrhoidectomy. Nowadays laser coagulation and infrared photocoagulation are also used.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
After the delivery, the symptoms of pain and the swelling of the tissue will subside. Till then you can go for conservative management.
Hot and humid weather is commonly associated with local fungal infections. You can use clotrimazole powder for symptomatic relief.
