    Yes, yes, I had them during pregnancy but they didn't cause and problem up until peri. I had to go to Mt gp the pain was so bad. They gave me a strong suppositories. It is a bit better now but. I do get very sharp pain usually before I need to empty my bowels. Also I seem to get more constipated before period, guessing due to hormonal changes. Not very pleasant. Good luck.

    yes, I did even though I am not constipated! Two months ago they bled and it lead to a bunchof checks, ultrasounds, and colonoscopy. All was fine. It helps to add fiber- even if you are not constipated. Metamucil etc. Good luck.

      Yes. I had bleeding as well but it was really mild and don't know if it was due to piles or vaginal dryness. Was after sex.
