Got really bad hemorrhoids in my third trimester. Now after birth, situation still the same. Anyone knows how it’s being treated if to see a doctor? Do you go for surgery still breastfeeding?

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, can be a common and uncomfortable issue during pregnancy and postpartum. It's essential to address this concern to alleviate any discomfort and improve your overall well-being. Treatment options for hemorrhoids typically involve conservative measures such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, using over-the-counter creams, and practicing good hygiene. However, if your hemorrhoids are severe and persistent even after childbirth, it's advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan. In some cases, surgical procedures may be recommended for severe hemorrhoids that do not respond to conservative treatments. If surgery is suggested, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about the possibility of undergoing the procedure while breastfeeding. They will be able to provide guidance on the safety of surgery while nursing and any precautions you may need to take. Remember to prioritize your health and well-being, and don't hesitate to seek medical advice for your hemorrhoid symptoms postpartum. Your doctor can offer the most suitable treatment options tailored to your individual needs. https://invl.io/cll6she
