Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Anus And Hemorrhoids

Welcome to HCM
Thank you for the query
Looks like they are hemorrhoids. Pregnancy is known to worsen them but usually not much to worry. Get yourself examined once by a doctor
If hemorrhoids are confirmed then can try following things
- Avoid straining for stools
- Take high fiber diet
- Take plenty of water
- Can take some stool softeners like isapgula husk after consulting your doctor
- Local ointment to be applied before defecation will help to ease pain.
- Can try sitting in XXXXXXX warm water to reduce pain and swelling
All this will help you in long run
Hope this answers your query
Happy to help
Wish you a speedy recovery
