What to do if hemorrhoids swell after childbirth

The enlarged uterus will compress the abdominal blood vessels, leading to venous reflux obstruction, worsening hemorrhoids or new hemorrhoids. Severe symptoms make pregnant women very painful and affect their normal life. It is recommended that patients take oral medication to improve venous circulation.

2. In daily life, they should pay attention to maintaining hygiene around the anus. Do not sit or stand for a long time. Patients should pay attention to controlling bowel movement time and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. If hemorrhoids fall off and swell, the fallen part should be returned to the anus as soon as possible to prevent long-term shedding.

3. If bleeding, edema and infection occur in the detached part, blood circulation disorder and necrosis may occur in severe cases. Symptomatic treatment should be carried out as soon as possible.

After delivery, hemorrhoids are prone to occur due to factors such as dry stool, irregular work and rest time, less activity, staying up late, etc. If hemorrhoids fall off after delivery, the first thing to do is to return the fallen part to the anorectum and tell the patient to rest in bed.

The anus can be properly padded with sterile gauze and fixed with a T-belt to prevent it from falling off again. If postpartum hemorrhoids occur, bad living habits and work and rest time must be corrected, avoiding long periods of sitting, squatting, and standing, and avoiding fatigue and staying up late.

Postpartum hemorrhoids are common because of excessive abdominal pressure during pregnancy, which compresses the tortuous rectal venous plexus and causes congestion.
