I had a surgery done after giving birth and it was all good, but then I had a surprise pregnancy and it came back all again. I believe the only way to fix it is to have a surgery. Good luck!

Yes, I was prescribed a cream and advised to eat a fibre supplement

I got a cream from the chemist – it was nearly $50! Scheriproct and some fibre granules to add to food

Lots of fluids and high fibre foods to soften your stools as much as possible, making them easier to pass without causing more damage

My first comment is to make sure you don’t get constipated. Lots of water, soluble fibre powder either to drink or sprinkle in your cooking, and coloxyl tablets (they’re a stool softener). As for creams, you’ll have to try a few to see what helps you comfort wise, but I haven’t found one that actually helps it to heal. Some advice from a nurse (which I was too chicken to actually try) was to use Vick’s. Great healing properties in that little jar.

Such painful things!!! I had them too and hemorrhoids after the birth of my son. I found using sudeocrem or something similar helped a bit when they were sore and bleeding.

How did you end up going?

i hope its gotten better

The things we mums go through. Hope things are working out for you.

How are you managing with them now?

How are you going, did you find some advice?

After about a year it goes away, but everyone is different

Some good advice below – hope it has helped.

Nice warm salt baths may help with the healing process

I got them after all my pregnancies and still have them and nothing really worked for me so unfortunately for me I just put up with them

Anusol does wonders. Follow the directions. Remember your not the only one dealing with this uncomfortable pain

After my son was born I had a hemorrhoidectomy which caused a fissure. I sympathise with you because the pain can be unbearable. I had it for about 6 months and had surgery booked in to fix it. I didn’t end up having the surgery because it healed by itself.
My advice to you is to go and see your doctor and get referred to a specialist. You may require surgery to help it heal.
In the meantime make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and eat lots of high fibre foods. Do not stain when you go to the toilet.
Take regular sitz (salt bath) baths in warm water for about 20 minutes.
I also wouldn’t bother wasting money on creams either. I spent hundreds on them and they did nothing.
Wishing you all the best!

I hope you’ve managed to get some relief

I am sorry I am unaware of them.

Yes, I had them after my son was born, and constipation kept preventing me from getting rid of them. I tried metamucil but couldn’t stand the taste. Ended up just drinking LOTS of water and using some cream, Dr Wheatgrass superbalm.
