Hallow Dear,
During pregnancy a hormone called
Progesterone increases many times in the body. This hormone relaxes the smooth muscles, blood vessels and causes
constipation. Dilated blood vessels in the rectum and straining due to constipation is known to cause piles or aggravate already existing piles in the rectum. These pile further start bleeding if hard stools have to be pushed by straining. Therefore during pregnancy, bleeding piles is a known complication.
You seem to have bleeding piles. Please get the diagnosis confirmed from a doctor by per
rectal examination.
To get relief from this:
1. Have
soft diet with roughage.
2. Eat plenty of fruits; in particular Banana, Citrus fruits like oranges, sweet lime, etc.
3. Drink plenty of water.
4. For few days you may take
Liquid paraffin for softening the stools.
5. Locally apply Practosedyl cream. Please do not use its applicator for application, apply with fingers deep inside the rectum.
With these you should feel somewhat better. If still the bleeding continues, you may have to undergo ligation of the piles.
Please report this to your Obstetrician.
I hope this should help you for the immediate relief.
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
