TMI hemmroids ? for Christmas

With this being my third pregnancy I've been through the hemmroid thing before. Sorry for TMI, but in the past they have only been painful while going to the bathroom and produce a little blood. Well, third baby is a charm because I am experiencing something totally different and painful here! We went away for the weekend, 4 hour drive each way... No straining going to the bathroom or anything but I woke up this morning with the WORST pain in my butt, and not seeming iternal at all. Is this normal? Could it be from sitting more than usual? Should I call the doctor? I have an appointment the 27th and will go in search for some cream soon, but ouch!! Seems different because extra water and fiber don't seem to be the issue for once. Anyone else go through this? Cures or relief?

ok, my advice is way tmi, but it helps... if things are protruding sometimes you can gently push things back into place after applying prep h (I prefer the cooling gel), Try to clench for a while after pushing things pack in to hold them there, just until the prep h starts to decrease the swelling. If you can avoid bowl movements for 24hrs it will usually works to fix the problem. Then be very cautious as you start having bowl movements again, do not strain! take a stool softener if you need to.

GL and I hope that helps, I've been there too!

I would try a warm then cold compress and if you are iffy on using prep H or painkillers, I use coconut oil to relieve the itchiness and just to keep that area from rubbing out.

They say hemerroids can get more pain from sitting excessively or standing in one place excessively so maybe from the car ride. Ice warm bath n prep h is what id do

Get the prep H with witch hazel in it!! And try to avoid sitting a lot. I've heard sitting on a boppy or donut pillow helps. A sitz bath or hot bath helps me too.
