PP Hemorrhoid help (maybe tmi)

Ohh this is good to know, thanks lalamomma! I'm using my balm religiously at this point! Saving the spray for post birth, like you said.

The actual bottom balm was a miracle for me. The spray is nice but the balm was better for my actual hemmroids. The spray is better post birth I think.

Well crap!! I know people were mentioning the balm, but when I saw the spray I thought that seemed less messy and opted for that. Maybe I should go buy the balm too... Thanks for the tip!!

Just what's worked like magic for me. I told my nurse about it and how welling worked and she was excited to be able to share an option for people!

Did it actually shrink them for you? Or just provide relief? I don't even want to say "just", as relief is HUGE too!

I'm willing to try anything, thanks for the reccomendation - just bought the balm, the spray and the pads off Amazon. I also have Anasol, prep H wipes and suppositories on standby in case the natural stuff doesn't work! These arnt going to get any worse...

So here's my dilemma.. I have this ginormous hemorrhoid that appeared a couple weeks before giving birth. It got a little worse during labor, but not as bad as I thought it would. I delivered on Monday and still have yet to go poo. I tried earlier today and chickened out because I'm constipated now and I am terrified. I took some colace a couple hours ago. How long does it typically take to kick in? I've never taken it before.

I don't think one Colace will likely make it much easier unfortunately. 5 days of buildup will be tough. I had been taking Colace around the clock for awhile. Along with lots of water and fiber.

I delivered on the 4th. I didn't have a BM that day, likely the 3rd...maybe? I made it to Monday the 8th and the pain was so much more than I could deal with. I had tried milk of magnesia Sunday night with no results. Monday I finally bit the bullet and DH gave me an enema (Fleet). Messy, but it was the best thing I could've done. I never would've been able to get it out otherwise. It was awful. I had tried and it got stuck, my hemorrhoids were bleeding a ton. Bad bad bad. The enema saved me. If you go that route, be right next to the toilet-it's that fast!!

junch817 Thanks for the advice! I'm desperate at this point and am willing to try just about anything. Looks like DH gets to go on an enema run!!

[lalamomma]

It actually got rid of it well enough it hasn't come back even during delivery... So that's a strong vote from me!

The spray has been as good for me as dermablast but with less tingles. Since I have a pretty good tear I haven't used the balm much
