Patient's question:
Is it okay to use medication for pregnant women with hemorrhoids? How is the medicine Yuzhen'an?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women are a high-risk group for hemorrhoids. In the late stages of pregnancy, as the uterus gradually enlarges, hemorrhoid symptoms often worsen, with the possibility of thrombosed hemorrhoids that cannot be retracted, causing great pain to the patient. Therefore, early prevention and treatment are essential. It is recommended to eat less spicy and irritating foods, consume more fruits and vegetables, avoid prolonged sitting, perform more Kegel exercises, develop a good habit of regular bowel movements to keep stools smooth, persist in hot water sitz baths, and use hemorrhoid suppositories after the bath.
