How should pregnant women deal with hemorrhoids?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should a pregnant woman deal with hemorrhoids?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with hemorrhoids are generally better off with conservative treatment. Anesthesia and surgical stimulation can affect both the mother and the fetus, so surgical treatment is usually delayed until after childbirth. After delivery, as intra-abdominal pressure decreases and venous return obstruction is resolved, hemorrhoids generally tend to shrink or atrophy gradually. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
