I got mine at the end of pregnancy #1, and they were probably gone by a month postpartum. They came back at the end of pregnancy #2, and are mostly gone (I'm two months pp now). I got them not from pushing, but from all the blood and pressure in my crotch at the end of pregnancy. And they can be avoided (to an extent) by avoiding constipation, eating lots of fruit and fiber, not sitting on the toilet too long, etc etc. If you get them, the witch hazel (tuck's) pads work wonders. They can be treated if they are making you miserable, though.
If they are bothersome, they can be surgically removed. My husband was ass to the sky with a surgeon to get it done when the surgeon proclaimed that he had no 'roids. This is how he was diagnosed with arthritis of the tailbone. We call it "ass-ritis."
I'm getting 'roids just from being so damn constipated from pregnancy. Good times!
So the only way they go away is to have them surgically removed. Or it IS possible that they go away on their own?
I'm really only curious because my FH is a lover of the booty, and I'm not so sure I want to be like "oh, btw, while you're down there, mind the 'roids wouldya?!"
It's my understanding that they can be treated with home care (high fiber diet, Tucks pads, Prep H, etc.) and not really be a problem, but sometimes they are persistent and need removal (which is a simple office procedure, really). Just about everybody gets them at some point and quite a lot of people love the booty, so it obviously works it's way out one way or another. :)
You might just have times when it's a little painful and you'll want to avoid messing around with them. "Not tonight, honey...I have 'roids." :D
A friend of mine had really bad 'roids after her first. Her OB told her to poop in a tub of hot water and they would go away. They went away right away.
These remedies just blow my mind. For real! Hahahahaha "here, crap in your bathtub and that will take care of it!" Yes, but who will clean out the giant potty you just made of your tub?! LOL The logistics of pooping while you're sitting flat down in a tub just sound so awkward...
You can buy a sitz bath, which is basically this bowl thing that you put over your toilet and sit on it. The hot water is supposed to help relieve the hemorrhoids. I'm not so sure about pooping in it, but... whatever works, I guess!
wow! I have never heard of these remedies, and am kind of grossed out by them. I did get 2 during pushing (none before or during pregnancy), and even without the magic remedies, they go away. It takes a few weeks, though.
