The prevalence of symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease is 25 to 35 percent during pregnancy, and it is particularly frequent in the last trimester of pregnancy and immediately postpartum.
Симптомы:
Symptoms range from mild:
(eg, pruritus, discomfort) to severe (eg, intractable bleeding).
Management & Treatment
Since symptoms generally improve after delivery, treatments during pregnancy are:
- primarily conservative.
- Emphasis on high fiber diet and lifestyle modification.
- Kegel exercises and Maintain Good Posture as Sitting or standing for extended periods can put pressure on the rectal area and worsen hemorrhoid symptoms.
- Use of mild laxatives and stool softeners to avoid constipation and straining.
- Sitz Baths: Soaking in warm water can provide temporary relief for hemorrhoid discomfort. Take regular sitz baths for 10-15 minutes, several times a day.
- Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter creams or ointments can help relieve some hemorrhoidal symptoms. However, always consult your healthcare provider before using any medication or topical treatments during pregnancy.
