Patient's question:
Patient Age: 34 weeks pregnant, bleeding with every bowel movement, along with mucus discharge, and the stool is loose.History of Treatment and Effectiveness: None
Desired Help: How to treat during pregnancy
Doctor's answer:
This is normal because pregnancy reduces pelvic pressure, which alleviates the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Currently, topical medications are primarily used for treatment, such as hemorrhoid cream. After giving birth, a more thorough treatment can be implemented. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and consume more fruits and vegetables rich in fiber. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent constipation. After defecation, sit in warm water to reduce bleeding.
