Piles of problems
Posted , 8 users are following.
During pregnancy I had inherited some piles(quite a few) They were inactive and didn't hurt me. Recently have a very very painful pile(heamoroid). Has anyone else suffers form any piles. How do you treat ir or stop the pain? Is this to do with peri again? Too emberrassed to go to the gp for it.

Then later I became constipated and that caused them to become painful again.

Three years ago, whilst on holiday in New York ( I'm from London!) I was walking and standing loads, my system got out of synch so a bit constipated too...had to buy OTC cream from pharmacy...
It eventually calmed down.
I suffered a very bad case a few months ago and had to go to GP. There doesn't seem to be a lot they can do ( as usual!)
For me, the most important thing is to never get constipated...for my own well being and piles...
To prevent this, I eat healthily , walk lots and take 400mg magnesium

Eat plenty of fibre - things like Weetabix, jacket potatoes, porridge etc and plenty of fruit. Keep well hydrated with water, constipation results when fluid is removed from the stools causing them to harden and be difficult to pass. Fybogel can be bought OTC, but is not to everyone's taste (yuk!).
After going to the loo don't wipe, if possible have a warm (not hot) shower and pat dry or try unscented baby wet wipes.
Haemorrhoids are not funny, nor should they be a source of embarrassment - it's amazing how common they are. If you are really suffering see what your GP can offer, there are treatments other than the radical haemorrhoidectomy.
I hope you get some relief soon
