How to recover from hemorrhoids after childbirth

How to recover from hemorrhoids after childbirth?

Some women may develop hemorrhoids due to excessive force or prolonged labor during childbirth. When the hemorrhoids are severe, the mother will have obvious pain or bleeding symptoms.

1. Drink eight glasses of water a day

Many women have little activity after childbirth and often eat high-nutrition foods, which leads to severe constipation symptoms and aggravates hemorrhoid symptoms. Therefore, if you want to relieve hemorrhoids, you should pay attention to replenishing enough water, ensuring 8 glasses of water a day, and drinking a glass of warm honey water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning, which can prevent constipation and relieve hemorrhoid symptoms.

2. Eat high-fiber foods

Don’t always eat greasy food after giving birth. Instead, add some vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in fiber to promote gastrointestinal motility, relieve constipation symptoms, and also help relieve hemorrhoids.

3. Keep your anus clean

For pregnant women suffering from hemorrhoids, it is recommended to clean the anus with warm water after each bowel movement to promote blood circulation around the anus, relieve hemorrhoid symptoms, and avoid anal infection caused by lochia stimulation.

IV. Rational use of drugs

When postpartum hemorrhoids are more serious, you can use medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as taking a bath with potassium permanganate solution and then applying hemorrhoid cream, which has a good effect on relieving hemorrhoids. However, if the lochia is not clean, this method cannot be used to avoid gynecological diseases.

5. Appropriate Activities

After childbirth, if your physical condition allows, get up as early as possible to do appropriate activities, which is not only conducive to the discharge of lochia, but also promotes gastrointestinal motility, relieves constipation, and helps relieve hemorrhoids. You can also insist on doing anal exercises, which can not only relieve hemorrhoids, but also shrink the vagina.

6. Develop good bowel habits

It is recommended to defecate once within three days after delivery. At this time, whether or not there is a constipation problem, you should use a suppository to prevent anal fissures. In the future, you should pay attention to developing a habit of regular bowel movements, and each bowel movement should not be too long to avoid the formation of external hemorrhoids or make hemorrhoids worse.
