Painful piles during 3rd trimester

Hi, I've recently gotten external haemorrhoids in my 31st week. So painful! Went and saw a GP. He prescribed Proctosedyl ointment to apply, and Diosmin to be taken orally. GP said he checked with gynae and said that they are safe. But I've checked online and there were some articles that are alarming. Are they safe for my baby? Anyone with similar issues and how did you treat it? Thank you in advance!
