What should I do if I have hemorrhoids during pregnancy?

Pregnant women with hemorrhoids are best not to take surgery to treat them, but can use a number of other solutions, such as hot compresses and sitz baths. The first is to use an ice pack several times a day to give a hot compress to the area where the hemorrhoids are growing, paying attention to the softness of the ice pack in contact with the skin to help eliminate swelling and discomfort. Second, you can use some hemorrhoid suppositories with few side effects under the guidance of your physician. Third, after each bowel movement, wipe thoroughly with soft, unscented, clean toilet paper with gentle movements. Colored, leaded toilet paper can easily irritate the skin, so it is best to avoid using it. You can also wet the paper towels slightly, using wet paper towels will be more comfortable than using ordinary toilet paper.
